The Agreed Furthest Point

Recalling Scott and Amundson a century ago, Magnus Mills' novel Explorers of the New Century follows a pair of rival teams trekking over a barren, rocky continent toward the AFP, the "Agreed Furthest Point from Civilisation." Exactly what century we are in, and how much this world resembles our own, are only a few of the niftily tantalizing questions the reader will encounter with this book.
