Description
The Passage by Angus Wardlaw is a gripping account of the ill-fated John Franklin Expedition. In this meticulously researched novel, the author sheds new light on the tragic events that unfolded in 1845. Launched with great fanfare, the Royal Navy's Arctic expedition aimed to find the Northwest Passage, a route to the Far East that could bring significant wealth to the British Empire. However, as the ships navigated the treacherous Arctic waters, nature proved cruel and the crew faced unimaginable challenges. With temperatures plummeting and hope of rescue dwindling, the leader was forced to make a desperate decision: abandon ship and embark on a brutal 500-mile death march across the High Arctic. This is the true story of the bravery and resilience of the 129 souls who fought to survive in one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth.
