Publisher's summary

The ice is coming. It was the last thing we expected, but the world is freezing. A new ice age has dawned and humanity has been forced to confront its own extinction. Billions have fled the glaciers, crowding out the world’s last habitable zones. They can run from the ice, but they can’t escape human nature: a cataclysmic war is coming.

In orbit, a group of scientists are running the Winter Experiments, a last-ditch attempt to understand why the planet is cooling. None of the climate models they build make sense. But then they discover an anomaly, an unexplained variation in solar radiation...and something else. Close to the burning edge of the sun, they catch a fleeting glimpse of something that shouldn’t be there....

Suddenly humanity must face the possibility it is not alone in the universe. And the terrifying possibility that whatever is out there may be trying to exterminate us.

I felt title and genre was misleading.

It was not a bad story, was looking for a hard science fiction story ended up a love story in space with barely a nod to the problems of intersystem space travel. As a love story, it would rate at least a four start review by someone more talented in exposition than I.

Highly entertaining!

I loved this book! One of the rare ones that kept me listening nearly all the way through. I loved the flawed characters, the science, the love story... all of it. The narrators were terrific. I got all excited listening to the info at the end about the sequel, but realized it wasn't out yet. Bummer.

Highly recommend for those who like science fiction, particularly apocalyptic sci-fi.

Good solid SiFy expertly narrated

Expertly narrated by a terrific male/female duo. The science made sense and was easy to follow. Very enjoyable!

Outstanding

This is an outstanding beginning! I liked AG Riddle’s novels regarding the Atlantis Gene, but this new series is fantastic! The narrators are great as well. If it didn’t have a dual narrator, the book may not have been as good. Great job all around!

Fast pace and action

Great sci fi story. The plot moves pretty fast and the story is captivating. I am not a huge fan of the romance subplots, but I'll let it slide, wish they got it out of the way sooner though. Some predictable events, but still a fun listen.

A really good book.

I have been searching for something like this for a while, and it really was a well done book. Worth the credit.

A great read

Another wonderful book by AG Riddle that I could not put down! Has a thoroughly plausible scenario. I listen to this book with Audible and both narrators did a great job! off to read book 2 in the series now. I highly recommend this book to sci-fi fans.

Couldn't stop listening.

Narrator's were perfect. All of his books make me feel like I am at a great movie and don't want to leave. The best parts I can't say any thing about, I don't want to give anything away. If you like ( The Martian) I think you will love this.

Excellent! Couldn't put it down!

Creative SF story line. Two narrators, one for lead male who was excellent and the other for the female lead who ok initially but got better as the book progressed.

As mentioned in some reviews character focus was central and that was great. Though there are plenty of awesome space drones in this one. And the mystery behind the rapidly developing ice age is quite intrguing.

I have enjoyed AG Riddle' s previous books very much. And this was one was by far my fastest read. Can't wait to read part 2 Solar Wars.
