Synopsis
ICEBONES takes the story into the far future. Transported as embryos to Mars as part of an effort to revive the species the mammoths were left behind when the Mars colony failed. With mankind gone and relying only on their story cycle for guidance in their battle to survive the mammoths must leave behind their ties to man and inherit their own world. Baxter brings the story of the mammoths to a heroic conclusion, showing the species in its most dignified light and warning US not to dismiss the lessons other inhabitants of earth can teach us. His mammoths personify the grand sweep of nature; his Mars a stunning piece of world building.

First Edition
Seller: Riley Books, Oswaldtwistle, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Large Soft Cover. Condition: Fine. Cover: Peter Barrett (illustrator). First British Paperback. Unread copy - as new. 278 pages. There is a flat, sharp, close horizon, a plain of dust and rocks. The rocks are carved by the wind. Everything is stained rust brown, like dried blood, the shadows long and sharp. This is the Sky Steppe. This is Mars. The time is three thousand years after the birth of Christ. The rocky land rings to the calls of the mammoths. But no human hears them. The colony on Mars has failed and the last colonists have returned to earth. The animals they brought with them as frozen embryos, then raised, have been left to perish on this new world. But Icebones, daughter of Silverhair, the one adult mammoth taken to Mars, has been released from cyrogenic storage by the departing humans. Icebones alone carries the accumulated knowledge of the great story cycle learnt from her mother. Icebones alone can teach the mammoths to survive and flourish without their human keepers. Icebones alone can lead the mammoths to inherit the fabled Sky Steppe. Size: 9" x 6". Book. Seller Inventory # 005992
