“Glenn M. Stein has written a captivating account of the last voyage of HMS Investigator, under the command of Robert McClure, which discovered the ‘Holy Grail’ of a sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via passage through the Arctic. The Holy Grail, yet also eminently impractical and with great risk to life and limb.”
– Bradley L Kautz
