Category: Fiction Science Fiction



Synopsis:



Volume 2 in the Snow Queen Cycle Now at last, Joan D. Vinge, best selling

author of The Return of the Jedi Storybook, returns to the universe of

her award-winning Snow Queen, with a novel as dazzling, as compelling,

as the "future classic" (Arthur C. Clarke). BZ Gundhalinu, police

officer of the Hegemony, member of the elite "tech" class of the ruling

planet Kharemough, left the planet Tiamat before the Stargate closed,

cutting himself off forever from the simple barbarian girl who gave him

back his sense of self worth. Moon Dawntreader Summer is now the Summer

Queen, and BZ knows he can never again be her lover. But the strict

Kharemoughi codes of honor have made him an outcast, too, and he selects

a remote outpost of the Hegemony for his new assignment: Four, a planet

where the police work is tough and never-ending, and where he can try to

forget. Four boasts great mineral wealth, which attracts all the rogues

and ruffians of the universe to the vast, uncharted wilderness known as

World's End. Travellers to that region allude to unimaginable horrors,
