"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick
O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical
nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a
turbocharged vision of popular doom." -"Men's Journal"
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 the
heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure that have won Dan
Simmons praise as "a writer who not only makes big promises but
keeps them" ("Seattle Post-Intelligencer"). THE TERROR chills
readers to the core.
"Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, THE TERROR is a
masterfully chilling work." -Entertainment Weekly
"In the hands of a lesser writer than Dan Simmons, THE TERROR might
well have dissolved into a series of frigid days and three-dog
nights. But Simmons is too good a writer to ignore the real gold in
his story-its beleaguered cast." -Bookpage
"Guaranteed to have readers pulling their covers up to their noses,
THE TERROR will make for a blood-freezing, bedtime read this
winter-and any season thereafter." -Pages
