Floe

Though The Ice is receding as the next Ice Age ends, much of Earth remains frozen, and the

vast Ice Sea has its pirates, among them the notorious and notable Captain Lork, who

profitably raids mountain peak towns in the far North. Through grievous misfortune, during

their exploration of the Ice Sea, the twin brothers Thist and Thusk and their flying machine,

Una, are captured by Captain Lork. The two wildly different cultures, previously unknown to

each other, must then adapt to their knowledge of new worlds. Eventually, many travel back

to Motherland, where unexpected romance and palace intrigues await them--rebellions,

betrayals, corruption, wars, death-until all the main players on Earth and Moon arrive at

unexpected destinations and circumstances, each going their own way, drastically changed

by their common experiences.
