About this product

Product Information

To be screened on BBC2 and on iPlayer, Ridley Scott's breathtaking 10-part television adaptation of Dan Simmon's devastating The Terror - a devastating historical adventure that has chilled and thrilled readers the world over . . . Hailed by STEPHEN KING as 'a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror'. Now a chilling 10-part TV series from RIDLEY SCOTT on BBC2 and iPlayer The most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness beging to take their toll. And yet the real threat isn't from the constantly shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness. It stalks the ships and snatches men. It is a nameless thing. At once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the expedition's nemesis . . . Readers are gripped by The Terror- ***** 'One of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down!' ***** 'A tremendous weighty achievement in atmosphere and storytelling.' ***** 'So beautifully written and well researched. I can't praise this book highly enough.'

Best Historical Horror Novel I have read
Probably the best historical horror novel I have ever read. Don't be put off by the size of it, once you get into it you really get hooked and can't put it down.

Fabulous. Best .
A must read if youve read Michael Palins Erebus. Depicts the hardships and lives of that expedition,bringing to life the detail and unimagiable feel of that era of exploration. Added twist of a horror added bonus. Compelling read.
