In 1845, an expedition under the command of the experienced polar explorer Sir John Franklin sets off on the ships Terror and Erebus to the northern coast of Canada to search for the Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean - and disappears without a trace. The search for her dragged on for several decades, information about her fate was collected literally bit by bit, and the picture of what happened is still full of blank spots - although in the fall of 2014 a sensation broke out: after more than a century and a half of searching, the Erebus was finally discovered, and scientists have already begun to the study of the remains of a ship, perfectly preserved in polar waters; Well, two years later, in the fall of 2016, “Terror” was found with the help of a remote-controlled mini-submarine. But a few years before this amazing discovery, Dan Simmons, the famous author of Hyperion and Endymion, Ilion and Olympus, The Song of Kali and The Dark Game of Death, offered his version of events: the main threat to the expedition were not the crushing embrace of ice, not the cold with a blizzard and not spoiled canned food - but an unknown gigantic monster, as if woven from snow and polar darkness. In February 2018, a 10-episode film adaptation of The Terror, produced by Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions, will be released on television. The director was Edward Berger, Simmons himself participated in the script, the main roles were played by Jared Harris, Ciarán Hinds, Tobias Menzies, Paul Ready.
