Description:As civilization is being swept away by a new ice age, superstition and magic are replacing science and technology. An old man, one of the last survivors from the pre-ice age world, and his twenty-one-year-old grandson are on a hunting trip into the dead city of Boston. Dogs are hunted, slavery has returned, and men mine beneath a hundred feet of snow and ice to salvage tools and treasures of a lost civilization that only the old man remembers.
