Frozen Dreams — Jason Halstead
Frozen Dreams â€" A full length novel in the science fiction Terminus setting.
Tor and his wife, Jinx, were rising stars at the Gordani Interstellar resort until fate conspired against them. Corporate greed needed a scapegoat. Justice demanded a show. Tor and Jinx were the perfect victims.
The Mathews are the latest of the steady stream of laborers shipped to Opdyke, a frozen wasteland of a planet known for two things: brutal living conditions and an abundance of the most valuable ore in the galaxy. A prisoner's life is measured in weeks or months, not years. For the Mathews to survive their ten year sentence they must do more than learn the system and live by the rules, they have to escape.
Trained as a security chief and no educated as a criminal, Tor had the skills needed to escape. He needed more than skills though, he needed a ship. Of coure a ship without a crew is another short term life sentence in space, so he needed people he could trust. People he had to pick from a collection of the galaxy's worst criminals setenced to death.
The final ingredient the Mathews needed was an opportunity. A distraction. Some means of allowing them to evade the guards, survive the unforgiving wilderness, and finding a ship capable of escaping the planet and any pursuit that might follow. And they had to do it before one of the psychic torturers known as the Gifted began their routine inspections.
