Synopsis "The Terror "

The "masterfully chilling" novel that inspired the hit AMC series (Entertainment Weekly). The men on board the HMS Terror -- 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. "The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years." --Katherine A. Powers, Boston Globe

Dan Simmons was born in 1948 in Peoria (Illinois, USA). After eighteen years dedicated to teaching literature, in 1987 he decided to dedicate himself full-time to writing. Since then, he has cultivated all kinds of genres (from fantasy, to horror and historical fiction), although he is best known for his contribution in the field of science fiction.

He is the author of Hyperion (winner of the Hugo and Locus Awards in 1990), the first novel of the acclaimed series "The Hyperion Cantos", which includes Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Rise of Endymion. Simmons has become an undisputed reference in contemporary science fiction.
