The chilling legend of the lost 1845 Franklin Expedition haunts the Arctic. In Buried Alive, disgraced doctor Robert Thornton is thrust into this mystery when a massive reward sends a modern expedition to the unforgiving, remote ice. Obsessed with finding the remains of the HMS Erebus and Terror, the camp soon unearths far more than relics.

A fast-spreading illness and an ancient, malicious secret trapped in the permafrost begin to hunt the crew. With the Arctic night closing in and the terror multiplying, Thornton realizes the men of the Franklin Expedition weren’t just lost to the ice. They were claimed by something unspeakable. Caught between a desperate fight for survival, a high-stakes conspiracy, and a horror that wants his very soul, Thornton must solve a 170-year-old mystery before he, too, is sealed away forever, Buried Alive.
