That would be like teenagers going to the moon for a few days here. Cool space technology like skin suits and scooters allow youth to just go on weekend outings to other moons of Saturn, like Titan, for instance, and get themselves into trouble. This book of 292 pages is packed with science fiction action. What they find is much more complex, and much more dangerous, than they ever would have expected. To make matters more complicated, an alien entity seems to occupy the moon, creating mysteries that the Doctor and his friends try to unravel. Children born in the colony, who have never seen Earth, don’t always respect the established authority and various conflicts arise. They are quickly drawn into the local politics of a mining colony, where the commercial interest of interplanetary corporations don’t always align with the objectives and wishes of the local population. The TARDIS takes its occupants to Mnemosyne for reasons unknown. The TARDIS is a spacecraft traveling through time and space, occupied by the Doctor and his companions, Jamie and Zoe. The Wheel of Ice is a ring of manmade materials, ice-bubbles turned into habitats, empty fuel tanks from spaceships converted to living quarters, all tied together in a ring of four kilometers in diameter around the equatorial plane of the (fictional) Saturn moon Mnemosyne, an ice ball of about a kilometer in diameter. People live in mining colonies on various moons of Saturn. Some time in the future mankind has started traveling the solar system in earnest.
