Books by John Roobol

Dr John Roobol is a retired geologist who has worked in many countries around the world. As an undergraduate, he was given a copy of Leopold McClintock's famous 1859 book 'Voyage of the Fox', about his search for the lost 1845 expedition of Sir John Franklin. John Roobol found the fragmentary information in 'Voyage of the Fox' both puzzled and fascinating, so his first project on retiring was to get to grips with the vast Franklin literature and to try to understand what most likely really happened. The result is this remarkable book, 'Franklin's Fate'.
