Roger Hubank's last novel, Hazard's Way won the Boardman Tasker Award and the Banff Grand Prix. Now again this latest novel is receiving high praise in the national media. Jim Perrin asks ? Ice and a slice of life' is North the first great historical novel of the 21st century?' The narrative of North is based on the 1881 American expedition to the Arctic. This was one of the great disasters of Polar exploration, 19 of its 25 members perishing, a tragedy made more poignant by the cynical political interference in bungled rescue attempts.
