Iceman — Cynthia Felice

In the distant future, fire and ice can lead to revolution...Jacinta was a starborn noblewoman and cyberlinked ship's navigator, ignorant of the strange ways of planet Earth in its second Ice Age. When her shuttle crashes on a desolate patch of Earth along with Michael, the dashing young officer, they have to depend on each other to survive the deadly climate and hope for rescue. In Michael grows a burning passion and he hopes he might see Jacinta again after their rescue. She has other hopes, for a life in space. Regardless of what either might want, Jacinta's uncle, the powerful head of the Consortium and enforcer of the Consortium's rigid, repressive social rules, would never allow them to even see each other... Or would he? Was there a hungry fire in Jacinta's and Michael's hearts that could melt a whole planet of ice?the most spectacular thing about Felice's skill [is] the freshness of her vision and the clarity of her style.--Denver Post
