Autumn is lovely. Not only do the leaves turn the most astonishing hues, coloring the hills and valleys yellow, red, purple, but they're so happy, friendly even, chattering amongst themselves as they fall, full of compliments and encouragements, never forgetting the end is nigh but also, well, let's just enjoy this one beautiful day. And it is a good day, for over at Powell's you can buy two featured titles — and get a third absolutely free.

Staff Pick

This book is based factually on the missing Franklin expedition, last seen by Europeans in July of 1845. The HMS Erabus and the ill-named HMS Terror were the space shuttles of their day, and Dan Simmons spins a haunting and suspenseful tale of this exploration. Based on archaeological evidence found in the past 20 years, and on his own vivid gothic imagination, Simmons has recreated in a stunningly addictive read, what possibly happened to this crew.

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Greeted with excited critical praise, this extraordinary novel-inspired by the true story of two ice ships that disappeared in the Arctic Circle during an 1845 expedition-swells with the heart-stopping suspense and heroic adventure that have won Dan Simmons praise as "a writer who not only makes big promises but keeps them" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). The Terror chills readers to the core.

Review:

"Brutal, relentless, yet oddly uplifting, The Terror is a masterfully chilling work." Entertainment Weekly

Review:

"In the hands of a lesser writer than Dan Simmons, The Terror might well have dissolved into a series of frigid days and three-dog nights. But Simmons is too good a writer to ignore the real gold in his story-its beleaguered cast." Bookpage

Review:

"Guaranteed to have readers pulling their covers up to their noses, The Terror will make for a blood-freezing, bedtime read this winter-and any season thereafter." Pages
