Jael Wye's fascinating, fast-paced science fiction romance novel, ICE RED, throws the reader into an alien world in a Martian version of the age old fairy tale, Snow White. Bianca's evilly vain stepmother plots to take over Skyline, a space elevator, and ultimately rule the world. After failing to keep her clueless husband's brilliant and beautiful daughter from interceding, she decides Bianca must die. When Bianca is sent to supervise the takeover of a mining company on another planet, she is torn between lust for the handsome, brave Cesare and doing her job, so she can return to run Skyline as her father intended. ICE RED is one of the most creative stories I've read in a long time. Not only did it keep my eyes from drooping late at night, as I raced to read its finish, but I loved the characters, rooted for their success, and was sorry to leave their strange world.
