I enjoyed the book and the preview looks like they captured it well. Good casting too. Something to keep an eye on.

I have the book on my to read shelf, and will definitely be checking the show out. I'm a sucker for Ridley Scott.

That one dude lead the Wildlings north of the Wall in the freezing cold. He might make it through okay!

He played Caesar in HBO's Rome, so his commanding presence is well honed. O0

Is that the book by Dan Simmons? I read his Ilium/Olympos novels and was quite impressed.

Yes, apparently so.

Based on the Franklin Expedition, but with some.. twist(s). You know - the one that disappeared for a long time, had crew sick & lead poisoned from their food tins, and all kinds of mysterious tidbits.

This vid touches on it, and gives a book spoiler in the last few seconds. Although it provides you ample spoiler warning to stop the vid beforehand.

Maybe it was the Wumpus? Last I heard, it was seen lurking in school computer lab full of Apple II's
