Product Description
The setting for this relatively short novel is the Caribbean Island of San Lorenzo, and it is here that we meet Felix Hoenikker, a physicist and one of the fathers of the atomic bomb. He has just made another discovery -- "ice nine" -- a substance that can turn all the liquid in the world into a solid block of ice. Supporting characters include a crazy religious prophet, a bicycle salesman from Indiana, a Caribbean beauty and her dictator father.
