Synopsis
Alyx, a tough, pragmatic thief from ancient Phoenicia, is snatched through time and deposited on the resort planet Paradise, where she must guide a group of pampered tourists across a frozen wilderness to safety during a commercial war. Her ancient survival skills prove far more useful than her charges' advanced technology.
