Wikipedia article


'The Frozen City' is a novel by David Arscott and David J. Marl published in 1984.

Plot summary



'The Frozen City' is a novel in which a city is under a cruel regime, with movement restricted by mazelike streets.

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."
