Publisher Description

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.
*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Dichotomy

This is a frustrating book to review.

Dan Simmons is a remarkable author. There is no shortage of his talent throughout the entirety of this piece.

I LOVED the priest’s story in the original Hyperion. I always felt as though that particular story had a unique vibe, one that evoked true melancholy and hauntedness. If you also found that story in Hyperion to be great, this book has a VERY similar tone. That said, my gosh it is the definition of depressing. Cormac McCarthy has nothing on Dan Simmons when it comes to making the reader feel true futility.

The negative: DS sets up a mysterious antagonist that is teased, and teased, and teased, and teased…. After a while, it starts to feel like he’s trolling. Then the explanation comes with a pathetic whimper - so unsatisfying that I questioned if I had missed something.

It’s obviously a great book if I’ve taken the time to author criticism here but it just feels like DS used the The Terror to express his own depression. It’s a difficult read to the mind.
