Summary "Ice Planet" by Carl Selwyn is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of crime and intrigue set against the backdrop of a distant, icy planet, Neptune. The narrative follows a character named Bill Ricker, a telenewsman, as he finds himself embroiled in a thrilling plot involving murder, conspiracy, and the potential for planetary domination. The plot unfolds as Ricker travels with the infamous murderess Molly Borden, who is aboard a spaceship heading towards Mars for a life sentence. During the journey, chaos ensues when a Martian accomplice attempts an escape. Ricker's curiosity leads him to uncover a larger conspiracy involving the theft of top-secret technology from Molly's murdered father, Benjamin Adison. As Ricker navigates through perilous situations, he discovers that the conspirators plan to launch an attack on Earth using stolen technology capable of melting entire planets. Eventually, Ricker must employ quick thinking and bravery to thwart the plot, leading to a climactic confrontation beneath Neptune's icy surface.
