Description
ALICE is not a girl.
When she arrives, she will save everyone on Earth from certain death.
Or she will kill them all.
What
remains of mankind clings to the high ground of a world flooded and
trapped in a perpetual ice age. Cerebus Command, the rulers of Rhone,
the fortress ark storing Earth’s carefully preserved biomes, wants
nothing to do with the plan to break the shroud hanging above the
planet.
But any good plan will have a secret backup… just in case.
Odessa,
a nineteen-year-old MEDcadet, witnesses the murder of her anatomy
professor and finds herself in fear for her life. Fighting recurring
panic attacks while sailing from her home on Rhone across the Eastern
Sea to Earthland, Odessa manages to keep what she’s seen to herself. To
her horror, however, when the vessel docks, she and her podmates—two who, like Odessa, are genetically
engineered—are arrested by the very security force who committed the
crime.
Reynal Królik, an
eighteen-year-old trading post sled driver on Earthland, longs for
Clearsky, though he’s never known anything but the gray shroud that
darkens the atmosphere. After he and his fellow messengers foil an
assassin’s attempt to kill Odessa and her companions, he whisks them
away, only to discover he and she are tangled up on opposite sides of
the same secret mission to slam an asteroid into Earth—one for which Rey
will be the asteroid driver.
Rey and Odessa—along with their
friends and a dangerous outlaw—race against time to escape Earthland,
but can they evade Cerebus’ flagship war zeppelin in order for Rey to
complete the task for which he was destined? A destiny Odessa was taught
to deny and will fight to prevent?
ICEFALL is the first book in
the Clearsky Chronicles, an Earth-based science fiction adventure set in
a future beset by a catastrophic climate change. For a nail-biting mix
of adventure, science, and survival, pick up ICEFALL today and explore
this exciting new world!
