It's a nonfiction book about the Franklin Expedition in which Latta argues that Franklin, Crozier, and the others were sent into the Canadian Arctic, not to force the Northwest Passage, but to investigate evidence gathered by previous expeditions of a race of giants who emit radiation and levitate ships and that Franklin and his men died of radiation sickness emitted by these giants, judging by the Inuit's descriptions of the sickness the officers and men exhibited.
It's an entertaining and provocative read, and needless to say Latta's version of what happened to the expedition is very reminiscent of what Dan Simmons lays out in The Terror.
Has anyone here read it?
