Simmons has not been in that cold terrain, and it shows up. The inaccuracies in the description of the effects of cold were so prominent that they distracted me from enjoying the story, and the book fell to the level of a fairy tale. For those who have no experience of the extreme polar conditions, this surely goes down fine. Simmons is at his best when working on purely scifi/fantasy -elements. Hyperion saga and Ilium/Olympos are great reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700756716297038909.post-14425457405084403952009-02-03T19:58:00.000-06:002009-02-03T19:58:00.000-06:00I have this one on my tbr pile and your review mak...I have this one on my tbr pile and your review makes me want to move it up.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704588396383104836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700756716297038909.post-66887054591775918702009-02-03T14:52:00.000-06:002009-02-03T14:52:00.000-06:00This sounds like a sure read for me.
