Quote:

Blurp:
A new element has been found by millionaire industrialist Josiah Traveller–a mysterious substance that promises new wonders and threatens new horrors beyond humankind’s wildest dreams.
Discovered in a hidden vein near the South Pole. anti-ice is harmless until warmed, when it releases vast energies that can power land-striding ships larger than ocean liners … make travel to the Moon a practical possibility … and arm demonic weapons that will make war – or life itself – obsolete!
For the maverick millionaire. this new substance means unlimited energy. For the young diplomat Ned Vicars, it means a chance for world peace. And for the beautiful double agent Françoise. it means a besieged nation’s last hope of survival.

Quote:

The powerful conclusion has us gasping as Europe experiences the horrors of anti-ice warfare.
— Michael Moorcock

About the file
As usual for me, this is a scan, turned into a djvu with extra OCRed hidden text. That text has not been proofread at all. Also, it contains ligatures. Some of the time. Search for, e.g., “find” with fi as
one
character
and
“find” with four characters.
The file also contains bookmarks to jump to the different chapters.
The cover is looking quite used, (well, it is,) but the scans of the main part look better. There may be an a black grain here or there. Take it or leave it.
