Description
About the Book
Greeted with excited critical praise, this extraordinary novel--inspired by the true story of two ice ships that disappeared in the Arctic Circle during an 1845 expedition--swells with heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure.Book Synopsis
The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly). The men on board the HMS Terror -- part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage -- are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in. "The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years." --Katherine A. Powers, Boston GlobeAbout the Author

I specifically ordered the book through target because I did not want the promotional “Now and amc original series” icon that cannot be removed. Just wish I knew what I was ordering but oh well.
