<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Originally published in hardcover in 2007 by Little, Brown and Company. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>). </b> <p/>The men on board the HMS <i>Terror </i>-- part of the 1845 Franklin Expedition, the first steam-powered vessels ever to search for the legendary Northwest Passage -- are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of encroaching ice and darkness. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations, a dwindling coal supply, and ships buckling in the grip of crushing ice. But their real enemy is even more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in. <p/><b>"The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years." --Katherine A. Powers, <i>Boston Globe</i></b> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <i>The Terror</i> is nothing less than a revelation. Dan Simmons is a giant among novelists, and I am in awe of his achievement.--<i><b>Lincoln Child</b></i> </br></br>Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, <i>The Terror</i> is masterfully chilling work.--<i><b>Entertainment Weekly</b></i> </br></br>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.--<i><b>Men's Journal</b></i> </br></br>The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years.--<i><b>The Boston Globe</b></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Dan Simmons</b> is the Hugo Award-winning author of several novels, including the <i>New York Times</i> bestsellers <i>Olympos</i> and <i>The Terror</i>.
