By: Dan Simmons

Narrated by: Tom Sellwood

The Terror: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *
The men on board the HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. But what they don't expect is a monstrous predator lurking behind the Arctic ice. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a horrifying end, Captain Francis Crozier takes command, leading his surviving crewmen on a last desperate attempt to flee south across the ice.
But another winter is rapidly approaching, and with it, scurvy and starvation. Crozier and his men may find that there is no escaping the terror stalking them southward. And with the crushing cold and the fear of almost certain death at their backs, the most horrifying monster among them may be each other.

Critic reviews

"The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years."—The Boston Globe

"The Terror is nothing less than a revelation. Dan Simmons is a giant among novelists, and I am in awe of his achievement."—Lincoln Child

"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a turbocharged vision of popular doom."—Men's Journal

"Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, The Terror is masterfully chilling work."—Entertainment Weekly

Superb voice acting for a superb story

I've already listened to the regular version without the soundtrack several times, this made the story much more immersive. Hearing the wind howl, the shots fire, it's great! The story is bleak but very entertaining, listen to this next to a fire, you'll feel freezing!

Survival.

an example of not knowing what a person how was with so much knowledge could have saved them all by teaching them how to hunt and build but judge her for being women

Incredible narration for an incredible tale

Too many good things to say here. The Terror is just phenomenal, and it’s impressive how it manages to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout its length. The narrator and Booktrack edition both add so much to the immersion, and I couldn’t have enjoyed it more.

Outstanding!!!

This might be favorite book currently. Watched the series on AMC when it was first aired. Read the book and now listened to it. The booktrack version is by far the best. It really sets the tone of the story. The narrator does an excellent job of telling the story through the eyes of the different characters. Well written characters that even the tv series cast right. Dan Simmons’ best work!

what a great tale!!!!!

Dan Simmons took an historical real life marine expedition and created an epic tale of what harrowing weather and and woefully limited preparation faced this doomed arctic expedition. I enjoyed every minute and will continue to think about Captain Crozier and his crew
