Another one down from the Voyagers series. I liked the world this one was set in. I love the cold so that was to be expected. Things are getting a little repetitive with these characters, though. I’m kind of glad there’s only one book left in the series.

Meh. Better story than last time. Anna still a bitch and had to start the next book to make sure nothing bad happened.

The two teams head to the ice planet, Planet Tundra, to extract an element found only in the ice crystals in the blood of enormous walrus-like creatures called Ice Crawlers. They consume teeny, tiny ice grasshopper-like creatures that swarm on the planet's surface, which is ravaged by wind storms. Exposure to the freezing temps is fatal to the kids. So you kinda know, that's where all this is headed.
The book starts with Piper trying to escape her captivity on Team Omega's ship. She's not been harmed, but she's bored to tears waiting for Team Alpha to rescue her, so she starts to plan her own escape.
On Team Alpha, Gabriel is planning Piper's rescue. He just has to wait until Dash and the others leave for the Tundra surface so he can get the ball rolling.
Of course, once Dash and Carly are actually on the planet, nothing goes as planned. Team Omega is there too, with Anna beating them to the Ice Crawlers (and coming up empty, but Dash and Carly don't know that. They crack the windshield on their vehicle racing to the Ice Crawlers and have to seek shelter in a cave before they freeze to death. They get their own ice crystal sample (I won't ruin it and say how), but by then Anna's in trouble, her vehicle having been flipped into a strange lake of a mercury-like substance that will surely kill her. Dash does the right thing, and needs Colin and Gabriel's help just as Gabriel is about to implement his rescue plan...
I won't spoil how it ends! This was a great, fun read!
