Icerigger Trilogy
Alan Dean Foster · 3 novels · 1974–1987
Alan Dean Foster's Icerigger trilogy, set in his Humanx Commonwealth universe, strands a group of characters on the frozen world of Tran-Ky-Ky, where they get pulled into the local population's fight against a destructive nomadic force. Much of the trilogy follows their overland journey by ice-sailing craft toward the planet's one interstellar outpost, a trek of roughly a year across the ice, as they help the natives survive along the way.
