2.0 out of 5 stars
Sort of interesting but no HEA, Jan 1 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iceman (Paperback)
Earth has been subjected to another ice age and the people have degenerated as they struggle to survive. Emigrants from the stars rediscover earth and decide to "help". Their help consists of taking valuable museum artifacts and selling them at huge profits. The "icemen" are considered not much above Neanderthals and are kept helpless and at subsistence levels.The iceman hero, Michael Jivar, manages to incur a blood-debt from a highly placed official. He is maneuvered into marrying the niece of the official so that the he can win a political election.
My purpose in writing this review is to warn people that this book does NOT end happily. So if that's important to you, don't read it. I was quite disappointed. I thought that since Felice had managed to work several happy romances into her other books that she would have done so in this book. NOT SO!

We're not in charge anymore, July 22 2004
By C. A. Sweeney "book addict" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Iceman (Paperback)
Cynthia Felice creates an interesting future for Earth, one where humans have spread out to the stars -- and in doing so surpassed their Earth-bound relatives in technological achievements, wealth, and power. Left behind on a planet overrun by glaciers in a new Ice Age, those who are Earthborn (called "icers") resent the advantages that the starborn have. When an icer man and a starborn woman survive a shuttle crash together, it's the beginning of an unexpected friendship -- or is it?
This is the first book I've read by Felice, and I hope she's written others set in the same Earth-future. I'd love to read more about the icer/starborn conflict, whether she brings back the same characters or focuses on new ones. Felice did a good job creating a realistic universe in only 185 pages. I'd love to read more!
Listmania!
