The Terror wer. angielska - Dan Simmons - książka
Producent: Penguin Books
Acclaimed by STEPHEN KING for its 'brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror', this narrative inspired an acclaimed, chilling 10-episode BBC TV series produced by Ridley Scott. Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition aimed at uncovering the legendary North-West Passage, branded as the pinnacle of scientific endeavors of its time, was expected to be successful. However, nearly two years have passed, and his ships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, remain trapped within the relentless Arctic ice. Resources, both in terms of food and fuel, are depleting fast, while scurvy, starvation, and insanity begin claiming their toll. Yet, the most significant danger does not stem from the erratic, unfamiliar terrain, nor from the bone-chilling temperatures or the perils of an unforgiving, ice-bound sea. Instead, a far more horrifying menace lurks—a presence that prowls through the freezing darkness, abducting men. This nameless entity, omnipresent yet elusive, eventually becomes the ultimate adversary for the expedition. Readers are captivated by "The Terror": ***** 'One of the finest books I've encountered. Absolutely unputdownable!' ***** 'A remarkable and substantial accomplishment in creating ambiance and crafting a narrative.' ***** 'Exquisitely written and meticulously researched. It deserves only the highest praise.'
