    Synopsis

    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.

    Publishers Weekly

    The latest entry in Viehl's StarDoc series (Shockball, etc.) centers on the question of identity after the heroine, Dr. Cherijo Tojin, crash-lands on an icy world and must make her way without her memories in an inhospitable environment. Cherijo finds herself in the middle of a civil war as the ex-slave inhabitants of the planet's surface fight for their freedom from the windlords, who live lives of luxury in orbiting cities. Cherijo has information about the true events of a massacre with political implications, and suddenly, as rumors that she has survived spread, everyone is looking for her. Meanwhile, Teulon, an outsider and a friend of Cherijo's husband's, manages to unite the rebel forces and drive them to action. When the final battle comes, the stakes are both personal and political, with individuals drawn into a confluence of events and betrayals that mirror Cherijo's confusion of identity. Well-drawn cultures and fascinating aliens are marred by busy point-of-view shifts and a trick ending that confuses more than illuminates. Still, action, adventure and undying love win the day.

    July 22, 2006: Tried to follow the characters and keep all of the story in focus was not easy to do. Focus was not in this part of the series at all.

    March 24, 2006: I was so excited to get this book because the rest of the series I really enjoyed. It is really confusing about who's who and what's what, especially if you havn't read the others. My suggestion, read the series up to this, read the back of Rebel ice, and then go from there.
