As part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition searching for the legendary Northwest Passage, the men on board HMS Terror have every expectation of triumph. When the 126 men are stranded in the Arctic, they face a dwindling supply of food and coal, and ships buckling in the grip of the ice. Based on true events and the basis for the 2018 AMC series, this novel by the author of the Hyperion Cantos reveals their real enemy as an unseen predator, clawing to get in. After the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a terrible death, Captain Francis Crozier leads his surviving crewmen on a last, desperate attempt to flee south across the ice, accompanied by a mute Inuit woman who may be the key to survival, or the harbinger of their deaths.
