Plot summary

The Frozen City is a novel in which a young man lives in a city which is under the leadership of a cruel regime. [1]

Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Frozen City for White Dwarf #62, and stated that "Not particularly new or astonishing in itself, this gains freshness and force from the allegorical presentation. A modest success. Fantasy's so hidebound that it's still a novelty for authors to suggest that even a benign dictatorship, or monarchy, may not be a good thing." [1]
