Description: Rogue code. A double agent.
He's the commander of Tarim Territory's air defense. She's the daughter of an empire bent on destroying them. Can love unite these star-crossed lovers, and save their world?
Lee is haunted by nightmares and guilt. As a brilliant young teen, her father manipulated her to create an invasive new computer virus. She hadn't known his monstrous plan. ...Not until he launched a thermonuclear attack against their enemies. Now her uncle wants her to finish the job. Lee would rather die than be used as a pawn again by her bloodthirsty family.
Michael's top-secret project is almost ready for launch, and the only one he trusts with it is Lee, his new research assistant. Lee is brilliant; a mystery wrapped up inside an enigma. Pain lies behind her lovely eyes, and he wonders what secrets she is hiding. When a saboteur strikes, his gut tells him Lee is innocent. But is his heart blinding him to the truth?
"Ice Master is the second book in the Ice Chronicles, a series of imaginative romance novels set in a post-apocalyptic world. If you like smart, courageous heroines, nail-biting action, and heartwarming stories of love and redemption, then you'll love Jennette Green's futuristic romance."
My Thoughts: Ice Master is a good sci-fi story. It's described as post-apocalyptic, and it is in the sense that war has forced humanity to build underground. However, the rest of this story reads far more like a sci-fi, with civilization thriving in communities built in underground caverns. There is advanced tech, lasers, and a man with the scientific ability to manipulate ice into weapons.
The main narrative on this story is one of espionage. Lee a spy and double agent, the second of which she believes is known only to her. There is some romance between her and Michael, but the heart of the story is her redemption for actions in the previous book. While Lee never meant for her virus to kill, it already has and she doesn't believe that she deserves forgiveness from anyone— not even God.
In the end, I would have liked there to have been more romance between Lee and Michael, but the amount there was set up a relationship for them to continue with after the story ended. I would recommend this to anyone who likes sci-fi centered stories with themes of redemption.
I have provided an honest review after having received an ecopy of the book from the author.
