The men on board the [i]HMS Terror[/i]-part of the ill-fated 1845 Franklin Expedition-are entering a second summer in the Arctic Circle without a thaw, stranded in a nightmarish landscape of ice and desolation.

There is something out there in the frigid darkness: an unseen predator stalking their ship, a monstrous terror clawing to get in.
