The men on board The HMS Terror—part of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition—are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of ice and desolation. Endlessly cold, they struggle to survive with poisonous rations and a dwindling coal supply. 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.
Poctivych 1066 gramu za nama. Horor nepatri mezi moje preferovany zanry (ani namorni tematika), jak si to vedlo? Dilo je to rozho kvalitni, lehka obava z nudy nenaplnena.
Ale? Kdo cetl od stejnyho autora Hyperion nebo Dobu mrchozroutu, vi, ze jde jit jeste o kus dal. V klidu hutnejsi cteni, ale nic zasadniho.
Seemlessly crafting a fictional horror out of the true (as we know it) events of the Franklin Expedition.
