"Ken McGoogan's passionate and immaculately researched book...is a
sort of Arctic whodunit."
"Rae emerges from the shadows to take his place among the most
intriguing of the 19th-century Arctic explorers. Delightful
reading"
"Rae...was hounded into obscurity, banished from the pantheon of
approved Victorian Arctic explorers, and was the only important one
not to be knighted."
