City of Ice #2 by Roz Gibson

City of Ice Issue #2 by Roz Gibson

Summary: During Jack Salem's time the City of Ice was a ruined shell, left by the humans on a terraformed Mars gone wrong. It shelters criminals, political prisoners and other unwanted people from Earth, overseen by the city's old human masters.

But what was life like in the city before this? Fifty years ago, when the great dome was still intact and sheltered a remnant human population, isolated from Earth for over a hundred years. Why did they cut themselves off, and why did they eventually return, leaving the city in ruins?

What do three travelers from Earth find when they finally make contact with the long-isolated city? The City of Ice chronicles that meeting, and how it profoundly changed the history of both the city and of Earth.
