EXCERPTS FROM THE DUST JACKET: "Moon of Ice is set in a world in which Franklin D. Roosevelt was impeached in 1942 and Nazi Germany developed the atom bomb first, winning World War II. The juggernaut of Hitlerian Germany has run rampant over Europe and Africa. But now, more than thirty years later, the Reich is becoming tame, bowing to the pressures of economic foreign policy. The U. S. Is a libertarian state that still stands for freedom of the individual against the rest of the world. And Hitler's devoted propaganda minister but now a world-famous anarchist revolutionary, is about to reveal the stolen version of her father's last, suppressed diaries. [...]"
"Moon Over Ice is a riveting exercise in what science fiction does best. It shows us another reality - of our own world, in our own time, as it might have been but thankfully is not. It is a terrifying picture, carefully worked out and thoroughly convincing. Moon of Ice cost me a night's sleep, spent sittin on the edge of my bed, thinking about things too frightening not to think about." - Richard A. Lupoff
