Book description
2650 AD The Earth has been buried beneath a sheet of ice for 300 years.
In cities miles beneath the surface humanity huddles, waiting for
release. Dr. Raymond Barnes waits with passion, and listens daily for
evidence of life on the still Earth. Finally, a voice from across the
void hails his open frequency . . . the surface awaits mankind. But not
all men are anxious to return to what was . . . those in power are
determined to keep man in his new place, to retain their order of fear
and oppression. Barnes and his courageous group of scientists and
adventurers are arrested for possession of forbidden technology; the
radio is destroyed! Their punishment is swift ejection from the
underground city, their only hope is to reach London - 3000 desolate
miles across a frozen wasteland! Robert Silverberg (1935 - ). Robert
