The Terror
Dan Simmons
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.
