For two years, Duncan Reever, telepath and warrior pilot,
has searched for his missing wife, Cherijo. While everyone
around him is certain Cherijo is dead, Duncan is just as
sure she lives and won't rest until he finds her. When he
uncovers evidence that she crash-landed on the ice world of
Akkabarr, Duncan, who is familiar with the planet from a
previous visit, makes plans for her rescue.
Against incredible odds, Cherijo did indeed survive the
crash and is just barely alive on the frigid surface of
Akkabarr. She has no memory of her former life. She doesn't
realize that among her lost memories is information about a
massacre that would have far-reaching political
consequences if she were able to recall the past. Fierce
tribes vie for survival on the surface while
their "betters" rule from orbiting cities above the icy
atmosphere. Unrest and civil war are brewing all around
her. As news of her possible survival spreads, the most
hunted fugitive in the galaxy again becomes the quarry for
those who would control her. But even at her most
vulnerable, Cherijo is the strongest and most capable of
heroines. She's acclimated to her new surroundings and is
not sitting around waiting to be rescued by a man she
doesn't even remember. And when the time finally comes for
her to decide on the person who she was versus the one
she's become, she can only pray she'll make the right
choice.
Stardoc flies true in this newest installment of the
series. Sure, I could nitpick (couldn't we all?), but why?
REBEL ICE kept me entertained and turning the pages. It's
fast, fun, character-driven and left me wanting more. I
still miss the "blue guy," but my friends tell me that's
more my problem than Viehl's and maybe it's time I move on.
One of my all-time favorite sci-fi series, Stardoc has
never let me down.
Dr. Cherijo Torin crash-lands on an ice planet whose
population is on the verge of civil war. With no knowledge
of her past - or even her identity - she becomes entangled
in the encroaching conflict, unaware that her husband is
moving heaven and earth to find her.
