The Terror: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!
The men on board the HMS Terror have every expectation of finding the Northwest Passage. But what they don't expect is a monstrous predator lurking behind the Arctic ice. When the expedition's leader, Sir John Franklin, meets a horrifying end, Captain Francis Crozier takes command, leading his surviving crewmen on a last desperate attempt to flee south across the ice.
But another winter is rapidly approaching, and with it, scurvy and starvation. Crozier and his men may find that there is no escaping the terror stalking them southward. And with the crushing cold and the fear of almost certain death at their backs, the most horrifying monster among them may be each other.
Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Critic reviews
"The Terror is nothing less than a revelation. Dan Simmons is a giant among novelists, and I am in awe of his achievement." (Lincoln Child)
"Dan Simmons writes with the salty grace and precision of Patrick O'Brian. But in piling supernatural nightmare upon historical nightmare, layering mystery upon mystery, he has produced a turbocharged vision of popular doom." (Men's Journal)
"The best and most unusual historical novel I have read in years." (The Boston Globe)

The narrator did a first rate job bringing all the characters to life, including unique accents, etc. The cast of characters is very large, and some blend together a little, but I suspect that is exactly how it would be observing the people from a mono-culture like Great Britain in that era first hand. I can't judge the accuracy of the Inuit pronunciations, but they seemed very fluid from the narrator.
My only complaint (and it is minor) is on the length of the book and its use of long lists of inventories, people, longitudes & latitudes, geographies, etc. These do give a very real feel to the narrative, but they can be tedious to get through.
Simmons knows how to write atmospheric horror!
