Graham Gore

The anxiety felt was shown by the despatch as early as May or two months before the first flush of summer was due of a specially selected party of quick travellers to push forward over the ice and spy out the prospects ahead.

Lieutenant Graham Gore of the Erebus commanded the party which consisted of Charles Devere ship's mate and six seamen.

They carried only enough stores to last them on their journey and each one had to contribute his share to the labour of hauling the hand sledges over the jagged ridges of broken ice.

Skirting along the coast of King William's Land they arrived at a point from the top of which they were able to discern the mainland coast trending away to the horizon with a sea of ice in front.

Inside were two bodies, one lying on its side under a pile of clothing towards the stern, and the other in the bows in such a position as to suggest that the man had crawled forward, had laboriously pulled himself up to look over the gunwale, and had then slipped down and died where he fell.

Beside him were two guns, loaded and ready cocked, as though the man had been apprehensive of attack.

There were also as many as five watches, several books, mostly with the name of Graham Gore or initials GG in them, abundance of clothes, and other articles such as knives, pieces of sheet lead, files, sounding leads and lines, spoons and forks, oars, a sail, and two chronometers, but of food, only some tea and chocolate.

The story mutely told by these relics was only too plain.

The story mutely told by these relics was only too plain.

Then there are two other significant events that happen before the ships become properly icebound.

In June 1946, there's the King William Land Expedition with Lieutenant Graham Gore leading.

And it involves encounters with Inuit and a terrible accident.

The Inuit woman, Lady Silence, joining the crew.

The first signs of the monster and Lieutenant Graham Gore dying.

Then in September 1846, there's the monumental decision to press forward with the ships becoming icebound.

A couple of other stages before we get to linear time are May 47, when the thaw doesn't come.

I think it was published in 2024, and that's her debut novel.

The story mutely told by these relics was only too plain.

A recently established government ministry is gathering expats from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible for the body, but also for the fabric of space time.

She is tasked with working as a bridge, living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as 1847, or Commander Graham Gore.

As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he's a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as washing machines, Spotify, and the collapse of the British Empire.

But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjust.
