推薦-Terror （MM edition）
Sir John Franklin’s obsession with finding the fabled North-West passage has kept the crews of Her Britannic Majesty’s Ships Erebus and Terror trapped in the Arctic ice for two years. But the real threat to their survival isn’t the ever-shifting landscape of white or the flesh-numbing temperatures, the dwindling contaminated provisions or the vessels being slowly crushed by the unyielding grip of the frozen ocean. No, the real threat is whatever it is that haunts the frigid darkness, prowling their ships, snatching one man at a time, leaving bodies mutilated or simply vanished. A nameless thing, at once nowhere and everywhere, it has become the expedition’s nemesis. Then Franklin is taken, and responsibility for the expedition falls to the experienced, pragmatic Captain Crozier of HMS Terror. Battling personal demons, he wonders if the mute Eskimo woman rescued from the ice knows something of what’s out there and determines to abandon the ships and lead the remaining crew to safety. As the days pass, the weakened, starving survivors grow increasingly deranged – and mutinous. And as whatever is stalking them becomes evermore bold, Crozier begins to fear there is no escape from such a nightmare... Intense, intelligent and chilling in every sense of the word, The Terror is a devastating historical thriller – the masterpiece of a master storyteller. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
