4.0 out of 5 stars A great conclusion to a great adventure!, November 26, 1999

This review is from: Deluge Drivers (Icerigger Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A warm farewell to our stranded friends on Tran-ky-ky., March 1, 2002

This review is from: Deluge Drivers (Icerigger Trilogy, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.
