La verdadera historia de una legendaria expedición al Ártico, transformada en una excitante y extraordinaria novela en la línea del mejor Stephen King o Patrick O'Brien y llevada a la TV en una extraordinaria serie de 10 episodios.

En 1847, dos barcos de la Armada británica, el HMS Erebus y el HMS Terror, que navegaban bajo el mando de sir John Franklin, están atrapados en el hielo del Ártico. En su anhelada busca del paso del Noroeste, parecen haber fracasado. Sin poder hacer nada por continuar su marcha y completar su expedición, rodeados del frío polar y de inminentes peligros, sólo pueden esperar a que llegue el deshielo que les permita escapar.

Poco a poco, los días van pasando y las condiciones de supervivencia se vuelven más extremas; temperaturas que superan los cincuenta grados bajo cero, provisiones de comida escasas, el deterioro de los barcos o la llegada de enfermedades …

Review of 'The Terror' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I think I liked this book. I'm not sure. But I don't know that I'd recommend it to anybody. The writing is engaging, the book is well-researched based on the theories of Terror and Erebus at the time he was writing. But it's so long! And so miserable! And does the protagonist have to fuck the only woman he meets?

I mean, based on the tale of a famous lost mission, it's not surprising it is grim, dark, and miserable. So if you want that in a book, then 4 stars. Because it's still too long.

Review of 'The terror' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

The Terror was a ship - a state-of-the-art ice-breaker - and it had a sister-ship, Erebus. If you know mountains you may note that two volcanoes in Antarctica share these names. They were, in fact, named after the ships. These ships later saw service on an expedition to find the North-West Passage - and never returned.
