'The Heat of the Glaciers' describes the adventures of a young man, John Hooverbart, born on Mars. He is a descendant of the humans that escaped from the Great Ice Age by establishing colonies on the Red Planet. John comes to the frozen Earth in the 26th century, as a member of the teams which are working on making it habitable again. It is a sci-fi writing by subject and context, but the story itself is focusing on human relations established in a hostile environment. It is about making new friends, help them on hard times, fight against nature severe conditions, and much more.
