Ice, Ice, Baby

Space Adventure Suspense Mysteries

Beschreibung

In "Ice, Ice, Baby", the feature novella, a team of scientists stranded on an ice planet are fighting against time to stay alive. The ice outside will swallow the whole science station within days if Vedana, Alice, and their fellow scientists can't find out what's causing its unstoppable growth. In the meantime, they're slowly being roasted to death by a malfunctioning life support system aboard their ship. If they don't restore the environmental controls they will be forced to evacuate to the planet's frozen surface. And while they fight to avoid being frozen or cooked, a murderous saboteur bent on destroying their mission is killing them off one by one. It's suspense, mystery, and pulse-pounding tension in one thrilling package. The bonus novella "Prodigy" is a tale of preternatural suspense that follows a pair of parapsychologists as they are slowly drawn down into a rabbit's hole of psychic perception, unwitting pawns in a nefarious plot woven by their mysterious employer. Finishing up this hat-trick of captivating novellas is "Time Trial", a fascinating foray into a paradoxical world of multiple time jumps, in which the main character ends up working alongside countless past and future versions of himself to complete a complicated project requiring hundreds of workers - all of whose duties he alone must perform.
