Warworld Codominium: The Patriotic Wars

From the Anthology edited by John F. Carr, commissioned and published by Pequod Press, Sept. 2015.

Set on the planet Haven in the 2090's, this anthology chronicles the collapse of the Codominium empire, as it abandons Haven for Earth, and newer, more lucrative planets the empire needs for raw materials and less hostile populations...

This scene is from the story "Rostov's Zeke's" , by Gene Stewart, which takes place on Haven's arctic region, depicted without the blue skies of earth, and surrounded by the communist inspired "Zekes" , immigrants from the steppes of Russia.
