Ice Blood, by Ian McGuire




Click book

A story that promises to leave us frozen, if we stick to the awards and criticisms received for this novel in the USA and England, where it has been reviewed as one of the 10 best literary works of all of 2016.

The setting promises. A whaling ship, the Volunteer, on a voyage to the Arctic Circle. A unique crew that houses unique characters such as Henry Drax, a renegade guy from the world, or Patrick Sumner, a former military doctor who forcibly embarks on that icy adventure with an uncertain blog.

In the reduced atmosphere of the ship we will face the claustrophobic sensation of a limited space where violence and death are looming over all travelers. Using an investigation by Ágatha Christie, but with a much more sinister and macabre touch, we will read in search of the culprit and the evil that moves him to do what he does.

I love those kinds of stories in which you have to dive into the minds of your characters to decipher where the twisted mind is, where the devil himself is possessing the will of man. And this book, from what I have read in critiques of the United Kingdom and the United States, its first markets, becomes that immersion towards the discovery of evil, in a unique setting around remote spaces of civilization, where one is alone and their decisions to survive seem radical.

Something special happens in these kinds of stories. Suddenly you are transported to their stages and discover that there is nothing known. There are no norms or developed society, only the instinct to survive remains, in front of the elements and over others.

An overwhelming proposal that surely will not leave us indeferent ...
