miramichireader's review against another edition
5.0
An amazing read. More than just a fictional/factual account of the USS Polaris expedition to the Arctic, it eventually turns to a type of "Heart of Darkness" journey for the German survivor Roland Kruger in, of all places, Mexico. The "Afterlands" is what occurs to the three main characters Heighton has chosen to follow through on Hanna the Inuit woman, The aforementioned Kruger and Lieutenant Tyson, the leader of the expedition. Gret nose-to-the-page reading!

I had to read this book for a class and it just was not something that I was interested in at all. If you like being lost at sea this is an interesting book.
