This Frozen World

“Our planet Zavre will be covered by one hundred feet of ice within twenty years….” So starts my science fiction novel about a civilization that existed a million years ago.

How scientists, intellectuals, and the government respond to that news is the premise of this 270 page novel.

Dr. Andros is given the authority to assemble experts to resolve the terrible dilemma of a world on the edge of extinction. What has caused this pending destruction? Is the dire prediction reversible? What will be occurring as a harbinger of the world’s demise? After thorough investigation by his team of experts, they must admit that Zavre is doomed and must be evacuated. How he chooses his associates to resolve the issues of how to leave their world, whom to choose, where to obtain the energy sources, where to go and other myriad of problems lead to an exciting read.

Dr. Andros’s girl friend, Eve Mantros, an authority in outer space exploration, believes she has discovered a new planet in their galaxy. Jonah Blanca, the expert scientist who invents a method of miniaturization of batteries to afford their space vessel power, are just two of the characters that will keep the reader involved. The resolution of all their problems will keep the reader awaiting the final outcome. Senator Noah Jacobs, a high ranking member of the administration, plays the political game for his own personal safety. Another interesting character is Dr. Ani Shah, chair lady of the committee who must decide who can leave the planet and who must remain; awaiting their ultimate death.

This story was written for those science fiction devotees who enjoy the hypothetical, the impossible in their vision of a past world light years away.
