<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Intriguing [and] enjoyable. --Ian McGuire, <em>New York Times Book Review</em><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <em>Ice Ghosts</em> weaves together the epic story of the lost Franklin Expedition of 1845--whose two ships, HMS <em>Erebus</em> and HMS <em>Terror</em>, and their crew of 129 were lost to the Arctic ice--with the modern tale of the scientists, divers, and local Inuit behind the recent incredible discoveries of the wrecks. Paul Watson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who was on the icebreaker that led one of the discovery expeditions, tells a fast-paced historical adventure story and reveals how a combination of faith in Inuit knowledge and the latest science yielded a discovery for the ages.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] thrilling tale of science's hunt to solve one of naval history's greatest riddles....
