The Ice Passage A True Story of Ambition,

What begins as a mission of mercy four and a half years after the disappearance of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin and his two ships quickly becomes an ordeal of its own. Facing starvation, madness, and death on the unknown Polar Sea, the crew of HMS Investigator intend to bring back news of their discovery of the elusive Northwest Passage between Europe and the Orient-if only they can save themselves.

Brian Payton has written for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, and The Globe and Mail. He is the author of the novel Hail Mary Corner and the non-fiction narrative Shadow of the Bear: Travels in Vanishing Wilderness. Payton lives with his wife in Vancouver.
