In 1871, nineteen men, women, and children, voyaging on the Arctic
explorer USS Polaris found themselves cast adrift on an ice floe as
their ship began to founder. Based on one of the most remarkable
events in polar history, Afterlands tells the haunting story of
this small society of castaways -- a white and a black American,
five Germans, a Dane, a Swede, an Englishman, and two Inuit
families -- and the harrowing six months they spend marooned in the
Arctic, struggling to survive both the harsh elements and one
another. As the group splinters into factions along ethnic and
national lines, rivalries -- complicated by sexual desire,
unrequited love, extreme hunger, and suspicion -- begin to turn
violent. Steven Heighton's provocative novel fills in the blanks of
the Polaris's documented history and explores the shattering
emotional and psychological consequences faced by those who
survive.
