About this ebook

A crew of castaways races to uncover what’s heating up an icy planet, in this science fiction adventure by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author.

Seemingly marooned on the freezing cold planet of Tran-ky-ky, Ethan Frome Fortune doesn’t know if he’ll enjoy the warmth of his old home ever again. That is, until a group of scientists at the Brass Monkey outpost detect something unusual in the atmosphere.

Aboard the massive icerigger Slanderscree once again, Ethan and his companions are headed south to investigate a mysterious warm spot on the ice planet. However, no one is prepared for what they find—open water. And this global environmental disaster is not a natural phenomenon . . .

Ethan helped bring civilization to the Tran, but civilization seems to be pushing back. Now, he and his crew must determine the causes of this chaos before their friends are out of a planet . . .

    A fabulous end to a compelling journey! Much more sfnal than the previous books,especially the finale.
  • Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
    4/5
    Very similiar to, but not quite as good as the first two books of this series. This is book is about global warming - long before Al Gore! The planet of Tran-ky-ky, frozen so long that the natives have fully adapted to sailing and skating on ice, it starting to melt. The human adventurers and their Tran friends have to find out why, and stop it. As usual with Foster's books, the characters and some amusing, but not silly situations stand out, along with his concise writing and fairly direct plot. If you are looking for multi-character, multi-plot epics, this is not it.

    Again, all the Tran-Ky-Ky books are wicked killer and I wish the ice-skating, bat-winged, totally wicked Tran were in more Commonwealth books.
