...a richly re-imagined fable which goes far beyond anything the historical record alone might suggest. Russell A. Potter, Arctic Book Review

Perhaps, on a barren Arctic shore in the summer of 1849, knowing he was dying, a British Naval officer wrapped his journal in sailcloth and buried it beneath a lonely pile of frost-shattered stones. He was the last of the 129 doomed men of Sir John Franklin's lost Arctic expedition. His name was James Fitzjames and for four years he had carefully recorded the expedition's achievements, hopes and, as things began to go horribly wrong, the descent into madness and eventual death of his closest friends. This is his journal.

A suspenseful and enjoyable read. Booklist

Wilson has managed to make his invented journal seem authentic and his account of the ill-fated adventurers seem plausible...one reads on, fascinated, to the bitter end. The Globe and Mail
