ICEBONES takes the story into the far future. Transported as embryos to Mars as part of an effort to revive the species the mammoths were left behind when the Mars colony failed. With mankind gone and relying only on their story cycle for guidance in their battle to survive the mammoths must leave behind their ties to man and inherit their own world.
Baxter brings the story of the mammoths to a heroic conclusion, showing the species in its most dignified light and warning US not to dismiss the lessons other inhabitants of earth can teach us. His mammoths personify the grand sweep of nature; his Mars a stunning piece of world building.
Stephen Baxter has become one of the SF genre¿s key figures. Novels such as The Time Ships and Voyage have won awards and been published everywhere from Japan, to Holland, to Finland and the US.

Cover Art: Peter Barrett Ilustrador. 2001 Edition. © 2001: 3rd in the 'Mammoth' series of books. 1st printing of 2001 edition:- Synopsis: This is not Earth. There is a flat, sharp, close horizon, a plain of dust and rocks. The rocks are carved by the wind. Everything is stained rust brown, like dried blood, the shadows long and sharp. This is the Sky Steppe. This is Mars. The time is three thousand years after the birth of Christ. The rocky land rings to the calls of the mammoths. But no human hears them. The colony on Mars has failed and the last colonists have returned to Earth. The animals they brought with them as frozen embryos, then raised, have been left to perish on this new world. But Icebones, daughter of Silverhair, the one adult mammoth taken to Mars, has been released from cryogenic storage by the departing humans. Icebones alone carries the accumulated knowledge of the great story cycle learnt from her mother. Icebones alone can teach the mammoths to survive and flourish without their human keepers. Icebones alone can lead the mammoths to inherit the fabled Sky Steppe:- Review(s): "The species is spectacularly realised, complete with a religion and culture tackled with impressive creativity" - SFX / "Convincing. Vivid. A rich and very rewarding read" - Infinity Plus / "A stunning talent" - Locus:- (original cost £9.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 16.999.00117
