FROM BACK COVER

UNION OF ICE Ethan Frome Fortune had been on Tran-ky-ky long enough... too long, in fact. He wanted out. He wanted to get back to business. He wanted to go home. So he and his sidekick Skua September headed their giant Icerigger toward Brass Monkey, the busy off-world trading post where they were sure they could book passage home. But when they discovered that their Tran friends were being victimized by ruthless profiteers, they decided to stick around and organize the isolated city-states into a functioning confederation... a governing body that the Commonwealth Council would have to recognize and protect. But the Tran had enemies - deadly ones, at that - and Skua September and Ethan Fortune quickly found themselves back aboard the icerigger Slanderscree, leaving a crimson wake on the frozen seas and hurtling toward the most chilling encounters either had ever known!

Mission to Moulokin

Second in a trilogy, the heroes of our story battle corruption, prejudice, and struggle to help their new found friends. If you like science fiction, you'll enjoy this book by Alan Dean Foster.

This was an excellent continuation of the story

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.

Time to make a reprint

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.

An enjoyable read

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.
