Planet Ice

In the heart of every small town lies a story waiting to be told, a legacy etched not in stone but in the fleeting traces of blades on ice. Planet Ice invites you into such a world—a frozen lake where dreams and destinies collide, where the past whispers through the chill of a winter’s night. This is not just a tale of hockey, though the sport’s raw energy pulses through its pages. It is a journey into the human spirit, where friendship, ambition, and the weight of history converge in a narrative as gripping as a sudden-death overtime. Johnson, with his unique perspective shaped by a life straddling Swedish reserve and American exuberance, weaves a story that transcends the rink. Through the eyes of Justin Nilsson, a young hockey player burdened by his family’s legacy, we are drawn into a mystery that spans decades. The ghostly presence of Freddy Ferrell, a 1950s prodigy whose tragic fate haunts the same lake Justin skates, serves as a poignant reminder that some stories demand to be finished. Johnson’s prose captures the thrill of the game, the ache of unfulfilled potential, and the quiet power of connections that endure beyond time. As you turn these pages, prepare to be swept into a narrative that balances the adrenaline of sports with the eerie pull of the supernatural. Planet Ice is a testament to the idea that greatness is not just about winning but about answering the call of those who came before us. It’s a story for anyone who has ever chased a dream, stood by a friend, or felt the tug of a past they didn’t fully understand. Let the ice draw you in—you may find it holds more than just a game.
