Query: Not your Daddy's Maritime Tail

Dan Simmons has once again provided his readers with fiction of the highest caliber. I had this book pre-ordered for nearly a year and I was certainly not disappointed. Also, I was appalled at the NYT for calling this a "779 page book about men stuck in ice." That is as absurd as saying that "Moby Dick is an 850 page book about a guy trying to kill a big whale."I think the cultural elite grow weary of Simmons' propensity to be didactic. He is a former teacher and he can't help himself, I believe. However, it is refreshing for me to be taught while entertained...whether it be literature or in this case, history.I must say that I have never been a great fan of swash-buckling high seas adventure stories. This work shatters that mold completely.
