Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Terror by Dan Simmons, read by Tom Sellwood.

Stephen King hailed Dan Simmons' bestselling novel as 'a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror' and it's now a chilling 10-part AMC Original TV series from Ridley Scott.

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 . . .

A brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror. (STEPHEN KING)
Simmons has created a chilling supernatural novel . . . the horrific trials of their impending icy deaths are vividly brought to life.
One of the most remarkable things I've read . . . nothing short of a masterpiece. It is a bona fide tour de force.
A revelation . . . Simmons is a giant among novelists. (LINCOLN CHILD)
Go out and buy this book . . . a fantastic achievement. Gripping, well-observed, and at times genuinely frightening.
Dramatic and vivid . . . Simmons has given us a host of colourful, believable characters caught up in a driving, hell-bent narrative. The Terror is a tour de force. (KEN McGOOGAN, author of Lady Franklin's Revenge)
Meticulously researched and brilliantly imagined . . . a dramatic and mythic argument for how and why Franklin and his men met their demise . . . a compelling read.
The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years . . . a haunting, precisely imagined fictional solution to one of history's most disquieting mysteries . . . brilliantly executed.
??Dan Simmons is brilliant. (DEAN KOONTZ)
Brilliant . . . Simmons takes this 19th-century tragedy and crafts an imaginative hybrid tale. It's a historical horror novel . . . the kind of rich epic that requires a touch of patience at the beginning but amply rewards the reader by the end.

I quit reading Carrion Comfort about two third in, and decided to give another chance to Simmons with this one. I liked it overall, the voice performance was excellent and the research and details are fantastic. I could not really care for any character or for the plot which I thought was dragging for periods of time, and the last portion did not leave me really in awe or fulfilled, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Good experience overall
