PLANET OF DEATH

The world was cold.  The crew of the spaceship could feel the chill in their bones even as they hung in orbit, fifty planetary diameters away.  It was a frightening prospect, for even the rays from the system's sun were week, lifeless; it seemed impossible that such a bleak and icy globe could ever have produced intelligent life... or so it seemed to a race that breathed gaseous sulfer and drank molten copper chloride.  For the world of ice was Earth!

HAL CLEMENT
is noted for the hard-science basis of his famous novels; a high school science teacher by choice, he carefully researches every single scientific premise.

ICEWORLD
is his most sought-after novel, the hardcover edition going for as much as $25 a copy when available.  Lancer is pleased to present this inexpensive reprint edition for the thousands of fans who have heard of this novel, but could never find a hardcover edition.
