Jo Harper is a contemporary London journalist saddled by her editor with a story she doesn't want. Namely: Douglas Marshall, an eminent archaeologist, has set out on a trek to research the (real-life) Franklin expedition, which disappeared more than a century ago during a hopeless search for the Northwest Passage. Now Marshall has gone missing too. In the course of her preliminary spadework, Jo finds an archived BBC program wherein Marshall describes the folly of Franklin's endeavor: Just a few short miles of ice. What was that to the greediest colonizing nation in the world? What were the months of darkness, and the strongest sea currents on the planet? The finest nautical minds of the age talked about it as if it were an afternoon jaunt, brushing aside a few natives, bears, and bits of tundra. McGregor alternates Jo's story with a running account of the Franklin expedition, narrated by a 16-year-old sailor named Gus. Meanwhile, Marshall is found, and he and Jo pursue a clearly doomed romance. When their child is born with a rare blood disease, the distraught mother commissions a modern-day Arctic expedition to save the baby".., Dutton Adult, 2001, 6, Flamingo, London, 1998.

The most advanced scientific enterprise ever mounted, Sir John Franklin's 1845 expedition in search of the fabled North-West Passage had every expectation of triumph. But for almost two years his ships HMS Terror and Erebus have been trapped in the Arctic ice. Supplies of fuel and food are running low. Scurvy, starvation and even madness beging to take their toll. And yet the real threat isn't from the constantly shifting, alien landscape, the flesh-numbing temperatures or being crushed by the unyielding, frozen ocean. No, the real threat is far more terrifying. There is something out there in the frigid darkness. It stalks the ships and snatches men. It is a nameless thing. At once nowhere and everywhere, this terror has become the expedition's nemesis . . . 936 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos.

Used. Hand over hand, Petersen drew the rope out of the water. The gap between the two ice pans was barely a foot wide. Morgan watched the man coiling the rope nicely onto the ice. Inside him, a stupid hope had already bred, that the boy might still be attached to the end of it. He would come up laughing and spluttering, amused as much as relieved. Morgan is second-in-command of the brig Impetus, dispatched in 1852 to the Arctic in search of Franklins lost expedition. It is late in the year and the ice is closing in when Morgan, ensconced in this wholly masculine world, learns that the ship is carrying a stowawaya woman. Pregnant with his child. It is too late to turn back. The child will be born into this vast frozen wilderness. And Morgan must set out on a voyage of deliverance across a bleak expanse as shifting, stubborn and treacherous as human nature itself., 2014, 0, New York: Sterling Publishing Co, 2006. xix, 299pp, index, bibliography, bw ills, endpaper maps.

From the Dust Jacket: "'I live in a place where people disappear,' begins Sheila Nickerson in this visionary quest for the missing in the vast and often stormy stretches of Alaska. As Nickerson, on the brink of retirement, sorts through the detritus of an overstuffed office, she becomes obsessed with the disappearance of a colleague whose Cessna 340A was lost in the area known as Alaska's Bermuda Triangle. His vanishing leads her back to earlier searches - for the lost Franklin expedition and for the elusive glory of the North Pole... Nickerson travels forward with current occurrences of disappearances - of hikers and climbers, tourists and adventurers, hunters and fisherman, the murdered and unidentified - along with losses of another order: the great shamans, the languages and cultures of the Native peoples, and the natural resources of Alaska, including the oil flowing through the eight-hundred-mile pipeline from Prudhoe to Valdez. From these musings, a vivid map emerges of uncharted territories and lives that touch through time, coincidence, or the hope of a message buried deep beneath a cairn." Bibliography.
