The story is based on the doomed Franklin Expedition, which set out from England in 1845 to find the Northwest Passage and wasn't heard from again. Simmons sticks as close to the known facts as possible and then fills the big voids his powerful imagination. The story includes hubris, heroism, scurvy, cannibalism, mutiny, Esqimaux (Simmons' spelling), and a polar bear with superpowers. ==UNQUOTE== -- Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY)
