Henry Hudson and the Murderous Arctic Mutiny

From the Set Deadly Expeditions

English explorer Henry Hudson had long searched for a quicker, northern sailing route from Europe to Asia. Three previous expeditions had failed. In 1610, he embarked again to find the fabled Northwest Passage. But when icy waters stranded Hudson and the Discovery in a bay for the winter, tensions flared. The crew lost faith in their captain's leadership and began to plot... mutiny! Told through the gripping, full-color graphic novel format, this Deadly Expeditions tale transports readers back in time to follow the fourth, and final, voyage of Henry Hudson.

Booklist Review of Deadly Expeditions

Not every journey is smooth sailing, as evidenced in the stories shared in the Deadly Expeditions series (4 new titles). These narrative nonfiction graphic novels, each with a different artist, take advantage of the visual format to share accounts of difficult adventures in history. They reference historical materials like diaries, photos, and records to help piece together each journey’s pitfalls, which are often weather-related. The Greely Expedition’s Fatal Quest for Farthest North shares the struggles of the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition, led by U.S. Army Lieutenant Adolphus Greely, just 600 miles from the North Pole. Each work concludes with further details of each expedition, a map charting its course, a glossary, and supplemental resources.
