Plot summary

Helliconia Winter is a novel in which the planet Helliconia's five-century winter has ended and its cyclical Renaissance begins as civilization recovers.[1]

Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Helliconia Winter for White Dwarf #67, and stated that "In Winter, scenes on Earth and the orbiting Avernus Station (sketchy and less successful than the main narrative) offer two escape routes from cyclic history: enlightenment and extinction. All this and a gripping story too, of battle, murder and plague."[1]
