Day after day we hear from our scientists about global disasters which have repeatedly occurred in the past. Asteroid strikes and volcanic eruptions have reshaped the Earth, exterminating large numbers of species and bringing about drastic changes in climate. What would it mean for mankind if a volcanic eruption raised a doomsday cloud of dust, blocking out the warmth of the sun and precipitating a “mini-Ice Age”? The book has been kept, to the greatest degree possible, consistent with fact and probability. The two-year winter that such an eruption could easily cause would prevent the growing of crops in the world’s vital grain belts. The loss of two years of grain crops would mean starvation for virtually all the Earth’s six billion people. What would the survivors experience? This novel describes one possibility in the form of a colorful adventure story.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting, but...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ice: Volume 1, Escape from North America (Paperback)
An interesting book, but the frequent sexual discriptions take away from the story line. How does the main character have any energy left to fight any battles or do anything else after a night and morning with his "mates" (wifes). A 15 year old boy would find this book wonderful, but for me, it was just OK.
5.0 out of 5 stars
a completely new era of sci-fi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ice: Volume 1, Escape from North America (Paperback)
Tommy Atkinson has a wonderful - pull you in - writing style. Although the book does have some sexual references, it is creative and wonderfully pleasant to read. I personally have always wondered what would happen if something like a mini ice age, a huge volcanic eruption, or even a deadly virus got out of control and changed the earth drastically. Eventhough this is not necessarily what would happen if a mini ice age DID occur...for me it was enough to satisfy my curiosity for now. I can't wait for the second book! Good Job Tommy, don't stop writing!
