Ken McGoogan also authored a great book on the Scottish explorer Dr John Rae. Rea was involved in the search for the lost Franklin expedition and brought back news of cannibalism. For his troubles he was not knighted, like the rest of those who went to search for Franklin, and was attacked in the British press by the likes of Charles Dickens. In the 1990's scientists were able to confirm that Rae was correct - some of Franklin's crew had turned to cannibalism.

McGoogan's book "Fatal Passage" was the bases for the movie "Passage"
