Seemingly marooned on the freezing cold planet of Tran-ky-ky, Ethan Frome Fortune doesn’t know if he’ll enjoy the warmth of his old home ever again. That is, until a group of scientists at the Brass Monkey outpost detect something unusual in the atmosphere.

Aboard the massive icerigger Slanderscree once again, Ethan and his companions are headed south to investigate a mysterious warm spot on the ice planet. However, no one is prepared for what they find—open water. And this global environmental disaster is not a natural phenomenon . . .
