Mission to Moulokin is the sequel to Icerigger. It is about the further adventures of Ethan Frome Fortune, Skua September and Milliken Williams as they try to help their Tran friends qualify for admitance into the Commonwealth. It is a thoroughly enjoyable book as the heros battle against corrupt Commonwealth officials and an insane Tran leader, find the fabled city of Moulokin and learn of the history of the Tran.

This is book two in the Icerigger series where we find Ethan Fortune and Skua September embarking on a mission to help their Tran friends once again. Both want to leave the planet, but they stay anyway and adventure continues. Foster did a wonderful job with this whole series, and I sincerely feel someone in the publishing industry needs to grab these books and re-print them. They are simply fantastic and are one of Alan Dean Foster's best.

This is the second in the Icerigger series and one of a number of books in the Commonwealth Universe by Foster. The way that he incorporates information from the other novels of the commonweath gives this book, and the series, a form of history and background usually missing in such works. It also is so well done that even if you haven't read any of the other commonwealth books, it is easy to keep up with the action and become almost involved in the events happening in the book. I just hope that they bring the Icerigger Trilogy back in a hardcover one book format, so that many more people can become fans of Fosters. Definitely a must read.

This is the 2nd book of the Icerigger Trilogy. Great sequel to Book 1, Icerigger, it continues the adventures of Ethan Fortune, Skua September, Williams, the Tran, et al. Though this series was published in the 70s, the themes of adventure, discovery, honor and chivalry are timeless. I have read and re-read this series countless times and will do so again in future. In fact, that's why I looked for the old hardcover edition. I had already worn down 2 copies each of the old paperbacks.
Set in Foster's Humanx Commonwealth, these series can stand alone or be read as part of the greater 'whole'; i.e. body of work. Aside from the Flinx and Pip series and Sentenced to Prism, probably part of my top 10 by this author.
