Everland
1913: Dinners, Millet-Bass, and Napps - three men bound not by friendship, but by
an intense dependence founded on survival - will be immortalised by their decision
to volunteer to scout out a series of uncharted and unknown islands in the Antarctic,
a big, indifferent kingdom. 2013: Brix, Jess, and Decker - three researchers with
their own reasons for being far from home - set out on a field trip to the same ancient
lumps of rock and snow, home to nothing but colonies of penguins and seals. Under
the harsh ultraviolet light, as all colours bleach out, and the world of simple everyday
pleasures recedes, they unknowingly begin to mirror the expedition of 100 years ago--Publisher
