Ice Dwellers

Just as merfolk inhabit sea water, the Ice Folk on the planet Altai inhabit an environment of frozen water so, when Dominic Flandry accompanies a shaman who chants to attract the attention of the Ice People, does fantasy intrude into sf? No, but sf parallels fantasy. However, I find that I have already posted more about the native Altaian life than I had realized. See some of it here and more here.

Kaor, Paul!

I reread some of those blog pieces you linked to, and was esp. interested at how the Ice People could apparently reach as far as Terra itself via telepathic "dreams." We are not told how that might have worked.

Ad astra! Sean
