The dazzling landscape central to this multifaceted tale of adventure & aspiration is the white Antarctic vastness known as the Ice. The story told is of an expedition to the South Pole, led by a young, ardent American woman, Morgan Lamont
- an expedition inspired & haunted by the tragic journey, eighty years before, of the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott. For Morgan, Scott's life, his dream, his death & the very concept of Antarctic navigation are obsessive emblems of the search for integrity in a morally precarious age. Freed by her mother's quixotic & frightening sacrifice & the generosity of a hitherto estranged grandfather, she sets out to fulfill her own dream
- to "vindicate" Scott by recreating his historic polar expedition. At once extravagant & austere, pulsing with colour & detail against the stark Antarctic ice, this is a novel as singular as the continent it reveals. It is a work whose authenticity, storytelling force & metaphorical richness
- immersing us in the world of Antarctic exploration
- illumine both the meaning of the century now ending & the power of the human spirit to navigate the new & the unknown.

' Like his subject, Lewis is an intellectual showman, a connoisseur of the arcane, a collector of titillating trivia.. . Fascinated with Burgess' consummate fakery & repelled by his control-freakery, Lewis nonetheless succeeds in humanising this sacred monster.' Christopher Silvester, Daily Express The author of over sixty books
- most famously A Clockwork Orange
- Anthony Burgess, Roger Lewis argues, was the writer as faker & prankster who lived, like an actor, by deception & illusion. Tracking his quarry from Manchester to Malaya to Malta to Monte Carlo, Lewis assesses Burgess' struggles & grudges & in the process creates a deliriously kaleidoscopic modern classic about an antic disposition. Outrageously funny & irreverent, Anthony Burgess explores the divisions that characterised its subject & conjures a cast of drunks, nymphomaniacs, egotists, journalists & famous twentieth-century authors. ' Lewis himself has a novelist's eye for detail.. . Will be read long after Burgess' works have vanished into oblivion.' Jeremy Lewis, Mail on Sunday ' This book abounds with such sublime moments of resurrection, on the wings of Lewis' mordant humour. The two of them wrestle for every page. Is this fission or fusion? Either way the energy release is enormous.' Duncan Fallowell, The Times
