So why are so many corporate execs, lawyers, politicians and thugs determined to stop the \u003cem\u003eZach\u003c\/em\u003e from getting there?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven if the \u003cem\u003eZach\u003c\/em\u003e does reach Saturn Science Station safely, Ed doesn't expect the Titan staff to welcome him and his crew with open arms. Open rebellion seems more likely, for the mission of Zach's is to evict the staff and close the station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what haunts the captain most are his own memories of what occurred at Saturn. Worse is his fear of repercussions should a reporter on board finally unravel the 15-year mystery behind the wreck of a legendary ship, a mystery wrapped in Saturn's rings and buried among the dark reaches of its frigid moons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are some secrets that best stay buried.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story is set in a plausible science fiction setting of early the early 22nd century, yet the writing doesn't delve into the nuts, bolts, and protons of the science involved. The author, after all, is an English major, not a physicist. Instead, the story focuses on the people who live and work on Mars and elsewhere off Earth, interjected with humor, and sharpened by the dangers they face. Ed and his uncle's \"business consultant,\" Faizah, an expert in corporate intelligence and who knows what else, have to struggle to keep one step ahead of forces trying to stop them. They face the threat through wit and guile, and a few sparks between them, along with help from unexpected sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRings of Fire and Ice \u003c\/em\u003eis a complete story in itself, but it continues the arc that began with \u003cem\u003eLunar Dust, Martian Sands, \u003c\/em\u003eand will continue in a third installment of the series. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Chmielewski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tec Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780981533858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChmielewski, Tom:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - A writer and editor who has worked on newspapers, magazines, websites, books, and ebooks, Chmielewski has nurtured a longtime interest in space travel and the science fiction stories that peer into the future of our exploration of the Solar System and beyond.
