Hailed by STEPHEN KING as 'a brilliant, massive combination of
history and supernatural horror'. Now a chilling 10-part TV series
from RIDLEY SCOTT on BBC2 and iPlayer The most advanced scientific
enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in
search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of
triumph. But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus
have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are
running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness beging to take
their toll. And yet the real threat isn't from the constantly
shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being
crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far
more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid
darkness. It stalks the ships and snatches men. It is a nameless
thing. At once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the
expedition's nemesis . . . Readers are gripped by The Terror: *****
'One of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down!'
***** 'A tremendous weighty achievement in atmosphere and
storytelling.' ***** 'So beautifully written and well researched. I
can't praise this book highly enough.'
