The bestselling novel, "a brilliant, massive combination of history and supernatural horror" (Stephen King), now a major TV series. The men on board the HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. But what they don't expect is a monstrous predator lurking behind the Arctic ice. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a horrifying end, Captain Francis Crozier takes command, leading his surviving crewmen on a last desperate attempt to flee south across the ice. But another winter is rapidly approaching, and with it, scurvy and starvation. Crozier and his men may find that there is no escaping the terror stalking them southward. And with the crushing cold and the fear of almost certain death at their backs, the most horrifying monster among them may be each other.

In a near-future America, women are restricted to just 100 words a day, a scenario that raises urgent questions about voice and agency. The protagonist, Jean, a neurolinguist, grapples with this extreme limitation, highlighting the chilling implications for society, particularly for the next generation. The narrative resonates powerfully in the context of contemporary movements like #MeToo, emphasizing the critical importance of language. Critics have drawn comparisons to Margaret Atwood's work, noting the unsettling plausibility of the premise. The novel has been described as a futurist thriller that is both intelligent and suspenseful, with a gripping plot that captivates readers. Its provocative themes and crystalline language evoke comparisons to literary giants like Orwell and Huxley, reimagining their insights for the digital age. As a bold and unforgettable debut, it serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of silencing voices and the vital role language plays in our lives. This electrifying tale is not just a work of fiction but a cautionary reflection on the present, urging readers to consider the power of their own words.

El salvaje Oeste y la batalla de Little Big Horn es uno de los escenarios ideales para que un personaje como Flashman desarrolle sus mejores artes: el engaño, la traición, el juego sucio... En esta novela tiene ocasión de demostrar hasta qué extremos es capaz de llegar con tal de salvar el pellejo. Y la sátira que hace MacDonald Fraser tanto de los indios como de los soldados y políticos americanos no deja títere con cabeza.
