Book Overview
It looked as if Ethan Fortune was stuck on the icy world of Tran-ky-ky, never to enjoy the warm comforts of civilization again. But when the scientists at the outpost of Brass Monkey detected an odd atmospheric phenomenon, things began to heat up.

A warm farewell to our stranded friends on Tran-ky-ky.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Prolific SF writer Alan Dean Foster wraps up the adventures of the stranded Ethan Fortune and Suka September on the ice planet of Tran-ky-ky in a nice little package for fans of the series. Turns out the thawing of the ice at the equator Ethan saw in the second book (Mission to Moulkin) was not natural at all, someone is actually attempting to thaw out the planet. That could mean possible extinction for the Tran, which is unexceptable to Fortune and September. They and their Tran friends head out on the Slanderscree to see that the process is stopped, permanently. A wonderful ending to a wonderful series, highly recommended.
The finale of the Icerigger series.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The finale of the Icerigger series does not have quite the adventure of the other two and harbors a pretty silly villain and plot. None-the-less, anyone reading Icerigger and Mission to Moulokin will have to read Deluge Drivers, if only to spend the last few minutes available with our new friends the Tran. There is definitely something wonderful and personal about this series. The characters are very rich and you really want to know more about them and share in their adventures.
A great conclusion to a great adventure!

This was the final book in this trilogy, and I enjoyed it as much as the rest. It kept my interest through the whole series. Foster gripped me in the drama of the Ice world I came to admire in the first two books, only now the entire planet was now in serious danger. The ultimate global warming destroying the planet and miraculously being saved by rouge adventuring heroes kind of story. This series made me a Foster fan. If you enjoyed the Flinx series, you will really enjoy this one!
On whole a good series

Nice ending to the series. doesn't leave alot of loose ends. Good series to read for a bit of background on Skua September who is later encountered by Flinx on Alaspin
A terrific wrap up of the Icerigger series!

This was a terrific wrap up of the Icerigger series! The only sad part was it closed out one of the most exciting and original tales Foster has ever spun! As a SF fan it leaves you longing for more adventure tales on Tran-Ky-Ky! A wonderful and exciting book!
