'An Antarctic Mystery' is a follow up to Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym', attempting to explain what might have happened to the main characters after the novels end. We follow an adventurer through the rarely explored Kerguelen Islands as he is picked up by Len Guy and the crew of the Halbrane on its way home. Before they complete their voyage however they find a corpse drifting on an iceberg, a note with him reveals that William Guy, the captain of the Jane and many of his crew survived the assassination attempt. In a daring voyage to rescue the survivors, we are brought to the frozen, treacherous ice fields of the Antarctic where unimaginably powerful forces have awoken.
