Agreed. The audiobook version read by Simon Prebble is also excellent.

Seconded.

Also the series The North Water (2021‑2021) is thematically related and quite good, better than 2018s The Terror.

I liked the books and television shows of both but I personally thought The Terror was in another league entirely.

Which is to say people should still watch/read them both.

Although I could've done without the gratuitous and seemingly unnessecary sex in The Terror (novel), but that seems typical of Dan Simmons.

It could have also done without the gratuitous and seemingly unnecessary X-Files tier ghost story, at which point there is nothing left of it.

One of the best audio books I've listened to.
