From the best-selling author of Schindler's List.
In the bitter Antarctic winter of 1910, in the waning years of the Edwardian era, a group of gentleman adventurers wait out a raging blizzard in the close, perpetual darkness, poised for a strike at the South Pole. As the storm lifts, a new challenge faces Captain Sir Eugene Stewart - to discover which of his 25 carefully chosen men has become a murderer, as what has begun as a probe for the bottom of the world becomes a probe for the bottom of man's soul.

"Thomas Kenneally is a great author, and he's working with can't-miss material here - Scott's first Antarctic expedition, as told by Apsley-Cherry-Gerard, except that it's fiction, and there's a murder. A favorite!" — Jason (5 out of 5 stars)

" Interesting story. not as capativating as I thought it would be. Not sure how much of it was fictionalized and how much was realy based on other stories. "
" I wouldn't have gone out of my way to find this book, but stumbled on it without regrets. A mixture of breathtaking icy panorama, ironic social commentary, engrossing mystery and human tragedy. "
" An interesting but depressing read of mystery and exploration. "
" Story about an exhibition to the south pole in the early 1900s. Well written by the guy that wrote Schindler's list, it basically was a murder mystery set in the freezing Antarctic. Never really loved the book for some reason but it was O.K. "
