À propos de cet audio
The men onboard HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a terrible death, Captain Francis Crozier takes command and leads his surviving crewmen on a last, desperate attempt to flee south across the ice. But as another winter approaches, as scurvy and starvation grow more terrible, and as the Terror on the ice stalks them southward, Crozier and his men begin to fear there is no escape. A haunting, gripping story based on actual historical events, The Terror is a novel that will chill you to your core.

It was no secret that journalist Jack Sparks had been researching the occult for his new book. No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. Then there was that video: 40 seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet it was posted from his own YouTube account. Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now.

When Lilith lyapo wakes from a centuries-long sleep, she finds herself aboard the vast spaceship of the Oankali. She discovers that the Oankali—a seemingly benevolent alien race—intervened in the fate of the humanity hundreds of years ago, saving everyone who survived a nuclear war from a dying, ruined Earth and then putting them into a deep sleep. After learning all they could about Earth and its beings, the Oankali healed the planet, cured cancer, increased human strength, and they now want Lilith to lead her people back to Earth—but salvation comes at a price.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

From the Koran to Shakespeare, this city with three names - Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul - resonates as an idea and a place, real and imagined. Standing as the gateway between East and West, North and South, it has been the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. For much of its history it was the very center of the world, known simply as "The City", but, as Bettany Hughes reveals, Istanbul is not just a city but a global story.

Tense and gripping
Even though some plot points are telegraphed, the author is so good at putting you in the scene! You feel the characters' dread, their indecision. Very suspenseful.

Harrowing
I went to school with the son of Owen Beatty - the University of Alberta researcher who discovered and examined the graves of the men who died in the Franklin Expedition. Dr Beatty came into our class to deliver a lecture on the expedition in 1985 - an amazing story. Dan Simmons does admirable research to inform this dark tale about the ill-fated mission. The facts (dates, personalities, procedures) are accurate, but the to-this-day-unexplained death of these men provides an opportunity to construct an engrossing tale of paranormal intrigue. Simmons introduces mysterious Inuit occultists, ghostly omens, men being stalked and hunted by some malevolent spiritual/cryptozoological entity, and descent into cannibalistic madness. Simmons becomes overly metaphysical, anthropological, and etymological in the last few chapters of the book, but that is a minor flaw.. for the vast majority of the book he masterfully weaves a genuinely dark atmosphere. The writing is full of tension, moodiness, and disturbing imagery. The description of terminal scurvy, for example, is gut-wrenching.
Simmons uses a non-linear storytelling technique - relating the desperate actions of the survivors during years trapped in ice, the hopeless attempts to escape, and simultaneous retrospective explorations of the planning and experiences of the men back in civilization and early in the expedition. The result is immersive and captivating.
Tom Sellwood does an above-average job conveying the mood intended by the text. He has a deep, smooth voice that expresses emotion marvellously. The suspense in the tale is exhibited by Sellwood with truly chilling effect. Some of the chosen accents are a little strong - rendering some segments difficult to follow - but the text is presented clearly and crisply. Sellwood gives a professional performance that is a joy to peruse..
Altogether, this is a well-crafted 9/10 horror/thriller. It's a dark, entertaining read - well worth a credit.

Chilling History
This book is a chilling story of Horror and fantasy that dives in to what could have happened to the men of the Franklin expedition. one of historys greatest mysteries and a great listen for history buffs. Both ships were recently discovered and soon we could possibly see some results for what truly happened.

A great way to pay homage to those lost.
This book took what would have been a relatively uneventful story of human suffering and gave those lost sailors a chance at being remembered as individuals instead of just Franklin’s crew.
I enjoyed the spin on Inuit mythology and I found that including a monster breathed harrowing adventure into what otherwise would have been a tragic but boring story about a slow death.
Now if only I could figure out what the rat teeth were about…
