This a science fiction mystery with no real villains not but a lot of suspects. It pits 3 master gamers against each other. The stakes include the development of Europa a moon of Jupiter, the way crimes committed during 1st interplanetary war, and the fate of 3 peculiar individuals.So have criticized this story for its slow pace and lack of action. Truly great mysteries have this quality. The name of the game here is to figure out how seemingly unrelated characters and events are related. Plodding nature of the book gives the reader a chance figure out the puzzle the author is presenting. I think Sheffield has done an excellent job of crafting a mystery with hard science roots with an interesting African American hero. ( ) 'Cold as Ice' is the first of three books. I enjoyed the premise, and It left me wanting to explore the characters and events moving onward into the follow on books, which are 'Ganymede Club' and 'Dark as Day' This is certainly 'Hard SF', but the pacing is good, and the characterisation doesn't suffer, as it can with some 'Hard SF' titles. Prior to this I had only read some of the Sheffield Juvenile SF in the 'Jupiter Series', but I will now be reading a great deal more. 4 Stars. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Twenty-five years ago there was a great interplanetary war in the Solar System. It was a suicidal spasm in which terrible weapons were created and used; in which nine billion people were killed. The rivalries that led to the war are not gone. And a few of those deadly weapons remain--some still orbiting the sun in the debris of destroyed ships,s some deliberately placed in storage. Now Cyrus Mobarak, the man who perfected the fusion engine, is determined to bring human settlement to the protected seas of Europa. Opposing him is Hilda Brandt, Europa's administrator. And caught between them are three remarkable young people: Jon Perry, Camille Hamilton, and Wilsa Sheer. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
