Anyone else interested in Dan Simmon's next book

[Prefx]

Ever since I read Hyperion and Ilium I have been a loyal Dan Simmons fan, eating up The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and The Hollow Man. Well for the past few weeks/months I've been checking up on his site, and I just thought I'd share his next release.

The Terror

Hope of rescue is dwindling for sailors aboard two ships trapped in the Arctic on the ill-fated 1845 Sir John Franklin Expedition to find the North-West Passage. They’ve been locked in frozen waters for months—the climate is unbearably frigid, their food supply is spoiling, their fuel is diminishing, and the ice is slowly crushing both vessels and pulling them into the sea. But the men of ships Erebus and Terror are fighting to survive more than just treacherous conditions—some ungodly monster of unimaginable size, strength, and intelligence is attacking them at random, leaving some bodies unrecognizable and taking others away into the icy night.
The only one among them who seems invulnerable to the beast is an alluring Eskimo woman they’ve rescued from the ice, but her eerie calm and late night flights from the ship make the sailors—particularly hardheaded Captain Crozier—suspicious. With the aid of a young surgeon, Crozier overcomes illness and mutiny to preserve his ship and his charges, but as months pass the merciless Arctic and the insatiable predator turn good men into savages during what becomes a losing battle to survive.

I heard this book plays on some parts in Moby Dick. Typical DS.

Edit- There is also a preview of chapter one for those interested.

[Thanatos]

All of Dan Simmons' novels interest me! Ever since reading Carrion Comfort decades ago he is one of the few authors who has my complete appreciation.
