Abstract

In the novel Ciaphas Cain: The Last Ditch by Sandy Mitchell [1], Ciaphas Cain crashes onto an
ice world aboard a transport freighter. We calculate that the heat of the hull, as described in the
book, would melt 4.5×1011kgof ice. While this is very large, the ship is too so we believe this
value would be accurate
