The Terror
By Dan Simmons
PUB: Black Bay  Books
ISBN:  978 0316017459

Its the name of the ship--and the name of the fear that grips the crew.  It's hard to believe that this accounting of a domed arctic expedition is anything other than historical facts--it is that real, gripping and larger than life.

I could feel the sixty below cold, and I swear I heard the ice move against the bulkheads and the screams of the wind--or was it the wind? 

This daunting book of vivid detail, terror, and suspense brings the brave men of the Erebus and the Terror to life.

As a reader who loves getting lost in time and place--and a writer who hopes to learn the art of putting together a Great book--I thank Dan Simmons for giving me the first and showing me the promise of the second.
