このコンテンツについて
A nineteenth-century Arctic expedition descends into a chilling nightmare in a gripping and epic historical novel of discovery, rescue, deliverance, and survival by any means.
In May 1845, Sir John Franklin, commander of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, departed England to seek a navigable route across the top of the Americas. He and his 128 men never returned.
Four years later, Royal Navy Lieutenant Frederick Robinson and Assistant Surgeon Edward Adams are determined to find the men missing in the Arctic. While they are united in purpose, they are divided in ambition. The pious and idealistic Adams strives to save his boyhood hero. Robinson hungers for promotion through the Admiralty ranks. Weathering a relationship as volatile as the icy, barren land upon which they trek, Robinson and Adams lead a team of seamen in search of the lost expedition. What awaits them is a struggle against not only the elements but each other as loneliness, starvation, and maddening isolation prove more chilling than the deadliest Arctic blast.
A harrowing novel set against the background of true events, Bitter Passage explores two men’s driving need for redemption and the lengths to which a desperate soul will go to survive.

“Listeners will want to turn up the thermostat when they listen to British-accented Steve West present this horrific story.… In a crisp voice West describes the rescue team's efforts as scenes go from grim to gruesome to wholly ghastly. West is highly skilled at depicting both the personalities of crew members and their physical decline as they trudge through endless icy wastes. This beautifully narrated historical fiction is sprinkled with horror.”—AudioFile Magazine
“One of the most engrossing novels I’ve read…Colin Mills’s masterful command of language captures both the beauty and the terror of this constantly mutating land of ice and snow.”—Historical Novels Review (Editors’ Choice)
