Dr Felix Hoenikker, one of the founding fathers of the atomic bomb, has left a deadly legacy to the world. For he is the inventor of ice-nine, a lethal chemical capable of freezing the entire planet. The search for its whereabouts leads to Hoenikker's three eccentric children to a crazed dictator in the Caribbean, to madness. Will Felix Hoenikker's death wish come true ? Will his last, fatal gift to humankind bring about the end that, for all of us, is nigh ?
