He is the author of The Terror and the most recent novel Drood.
The men on board HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a terrible death, Captain Francis Crozier takes command and leads his surviving crewmen on a last, desperate attempt to flee south across the ice.
But as another winter approaches, as scurvy and starvation grow more terrible, and as the Terror on the ice stalks them southward, Crozier and his men begin to fear there is no escape.
A haunting, gripping story based on actual historical events, The Terror is a novel that will chill you to your core.
You know the drill. Open to US and Canada only and no PO Boxes. Must leave a email addy. Thanks
