A Scientific Page Turning Thriller, Aug 19 2004
By J. Pace "Darrell Pace" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frozen in Time: Unlocking the Secrets of the Franklin Expedition. (Hardcover)
This book was great and I hope you will check it out! It gave great detail to the 1984-6 expeditions headed by Owen Beattie that searched into the fatal artic expedition of 1845. In 1845, Sir John Franklin, known for his previous polar exploration, took two ships and 128 crew members into the icy north. Their goal was to find a northwest passage above Canada, but nobody ever heard from them again. Many have tried to solve the mystery, and much information has been handed down through time, but Beattie's group was the first which found traces of lead poisoning, which led them to believe that faulty food containers may have added to the loss of the men from these expedition. The most interesting thing about the book is the detailed explanations of exhuming the graves of three sailors from Sir Franklin's failed attempt. Pictures add to the excitement and looking into the frozen faces of men who died 150 years ago, excite the imagination. You will also be left with a feeling of sadness at the terrible fate of those men and all who perished with them in the arctic wilderness. May they rest in peace.

A Fascinating and riveting accountof arctic exploration, Aug 16 2002
By Susan L. Holbert "ticktb8" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frozen in Time: Unlocking the Secrets of the Franklin Expedition. (Hardcover)
This was a book I could not put down until I had finished readingit. An excellent book with elements of history, exploration,
archaeology, forensics, and mystery, all concerning the courageous and tragic Franklin expedition. I was inspired to read this book after seeing Sir Franklin's
epitaph in Westminster Abbey: "Not Here, The Frozen North Doth
Have thy Bones. And Thou Heroic Sailor Soul Travels Onward
Toward No Earthly Pole."

An excellent, informative and touching read, Mar 15 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frozen In Time (Paperback)
I first bought this book in the UK, read it and re-read it a number of times. I originally had no interest in this subject, but now, due to the excellent presentation, I find myself thinking of the hardships those men went through. I moved to the US and left the book behind. I now find myself desperately seeking a copy. That is the impact of this book. It's images will stay with the reader for the rest of their lives.
