Summary
Ahab has no heart that beats, no lungs that heave, no eyes that see, and yet he knows himself acutely: the white flesh at his back, the binding cord, the black depths. He is dead, but his soul is not flown, tethered as if by its own line. The whale is a titan bound for Tartarus, and he is dragging Ahab with him to the abyss.

Summary
Very quickly, Jonathan weighed the odds. On one hand, potential death, whether by armed bandits, a mummy’s curse, or people who looked like bandits and who were very angry about someone unleashing a mummy’s curse. On the other hand, potential riches, home ground, and topics of conversation other than what happened at school fifteen years ago and who got it in the neck where.

Summary
Francis Crozier was not a religious man, but on the third day of the most disastrous team building exercise on the face of the planet he found himself hoping for an afterlife specifically so he could earn the right to march right into that throne room, haul God himself up by his lapels and ask Him what the FUCK?
Francis Crozier, historian of South Pole exploration and champion grouch, can't seem to find in his job description as assitant departmental chair where is says that, in the event their leader is incapacitated, it is his job to lead a bunch of professors with food poisoning out of the French Alps in the middle of January. But he'll do it, even if he's got the Beach Boys stuck in his head and he has to share a tent with James Fitzjames.
In other words, It's The Terror, but everyone's a fussy academic on the departmental camping trip from hell!
