      Ein Mann, ein Schiff im Eis. Ein Schicksal, das uralte Geheimnisse birgt. Im gnadenlosen Eis des Südpolarmeeres kämpft Paul Rodney, der Erste Maat der Brigg Laughing Mary, ums nackte Überleben. Ein unerbittlicher Sturm hat das Schiff zu einem Wrack gemacht. Getrieben von Einsamkeit und Verzweiflung, entkommt er dem sicheren Tod, nur um in eine noch größere, unerklärliche Gefahr zu geraten. Fernab jeder Zivilisation stößt Rodney auf ein Phänomen, das die Grenzen des Vorstellbaren sprengt: ein im ewigen Eis eingefrorenes Piratenschiff, dessen Mannschaft seit 50 Jahren in einem Zustand des Scheintods verharrt. Unter ihnen liegt ein Mann, nicht tot, nicht lebendig, dessen Geschichte das ganze Weltbild Rodneys auf den Kopf stellt. William Clark Russell, ein Meister der maritimen Literatur des 19. Jahrhunderts, erschafft in „Der gefrorene Pirat“ eine packende Abenteuererzählung. Tauche ein in eine Welt aus stürmischen Ozeanen, archaischer Seemannssprache und einem mysteriösen Rätsel, das über die Zeit hinweg bewahrt wurde.

Während die Grosvenor weiterhin auf den Wellen schwankt, entwickelt sich eine spannende Geschichte um Loyalität, Verrat und die unaufhaltsame Eskalation von Gewalt an Bord. Ein packendes Psychodrama auf offener See.
