Book Overview

Iceworld is a science fiction novel written by Hal Clement. The story is set on a frozen planet named Hoth, where a team of scientists and engineers are sent to investigate the possibility of mining the planet's valuable resources. The planet is covered in ice and snow, and the team faces numerous challenges as they try to navigate the treacherous terrain and extreme weather conditions. The main character is a geologist named Dr. Carlisle, who is tasked with studying the planet's geology and determining the best locations for mining. Along with his team, he must deal with dangerous ice storms, treacherous crevasses, and hostile alien creatures that inhabit the planet. As they explore Hoth, they discover that the planet is much more complex and mysterious than they initially thought. The novel is a classic example of hard science fiction, with a focus on scientific accuracy and realism. Hal Clement was known for his attention to detail and scientific accuracy, and this is evident in Iceworld. The novel explores themes such as exploration, survival, and the limits of human knowledge. Overall, Iceworld is a thrilling and thought-provoking science fiction novel that will appeal to fans of the genre. It is a well-written and engaging story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rated 4 stars
Mostly entertaining and definitely worth a read.

"Saint" is a fun jaunt through political intrigue with a dash of super-powered thrill, complete with double-crosses and secrets. The story is a thrill ride of assassins facing off with the usual tools and a dose of superhuman abilities. It mostly ditches its predecessor’s problem of being too preachy and focuses much more on the characters and story rather than an agenda. Characters are well-rounded with complex and interesting...

Immersive storyline and compelling characters. One of the best suspense stories I have ever read.

Immersive storyline and compelling characters. One of the best suspense stories I have ever read. This was my first Ted Dekker book, and I rate him as one of the top five authors I have ever read. I have read 100 to 200 books a year for the past 50 years, and this book I would rate as in the top 50 of my lifetime. Highly recommended, just not for younger readers.

Just One More Chapter Before I Sleep

I was planning to read Saint over a weekend, but I couldn't seem to put the book down. Like Ted Dekker's other books, Saint is more non-stop action with twists and turns, heavily laced with emotional undercurrent than a leisurely read that I could bookmark after a few pages. Ted has that wonderful ability to draw a reader into the story he's telling - causing me to promise myself, "just one more chapter, then when things settle...

Dekker's best since THR3E!!

I've been wondering for the longest time if Dekker would ever come out with something to match the intensity of THR3E. I mean, he's really... REALLY going to have to be locked and loaded to beat the caliber of THR3E, and that's just how it is. But upon picking this up, it sucked me right in, quick, but not quite quicker than THR3E. I believe that Dekker intended for this to not just be a page turner, but to play with the mind,...

Classic Dekker, yet surprising twists

Somehow, someway Ted Dekker continues to please and surprise his growing fans base - Saint is no exception. The tagline for the thriller is "Saint...He's not who you think." That statement could not be any truer. Going into this book, neither you or Carl Strople "Saint" have any idea who he is really. The thing that makes Dekker's books so amazing to read, the twists and turns, making it equally difficult to review. Much...
