About the book:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>The second Ice Age came – and civilisation was buried beneath the glaciers. Then all men became barbarians. But out of the frozen chaos three cultures emerged. The Seafolk and the Rogaviki were simple, primitive people. Ranged against them was the mighty Rahidian-Barommian Empire, a nation hungry for power, eager to exploit its superior technical knowledge. If the Empire fulfilled its ambitions, its neighbours knew they would not survive. On the day of the intended conquest they must be ready to engage the powers of science in a bloody, apocalyptic struggle for the destiny of the planet.</p>

Translated by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthea_Bell">Anthea Bell</a>.</p>

<p>From the back cover:</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Excitement rose when a shining bright violet ball appeared on the crest of a dust dune, slowly floating towards us over the ridges of the land. Fascinating, we watched its zigzag course. It was gathering speed as it leaped over the hollows. Involuntarily, we flinched back from the windows as the ball of light made straight for us, at tremendous speed. A<span class="nbsp">&nbsp;</span>blinding light filled the cabin. It felt as though the fiery ball had touched the toughened glass of the porthole, I thought I heard the crackling of electric explosions. Then the ball disappeared, and we heard pattering sounds on the rood of the vehicle. I don’t know—none of us knew—how many seconds we waited in suspense. Then the flaming light leaped up on one of the Lizards. The little blue lights went out at once, the ball shone more brightly than ever, and vanished suddenly as it had come.</p>
