Hellhole

by Kevin J. Anderson Brian Herbert

The planet Hellhole was devastated by a large asteroid impact centuries ago and most of its native species - including a sophisticated alien civilisation - were utterly wiped out. Now Hellhole has been opened up as part of a colonization initiative by the sprawling and decadent Galactic Monarchy, but only the hardiest, or most desperate, pioneers and misfits would dare to settle there. This is their story of trying to tame a shattered world, and of uncovering secrets left behind by a devastated civilization.

Hellhole: Inferno

by Kevin J. Anderson Brian Herbert

After the events of Hellhole Awakening, the people of Hellhole and the shadow-Xayans scramble to rally against the threat from the still-living rogue Xayans. Back on Sonjeera, the Monarchy is in an uproar after their surprising defeat and the breakaway of the Deep Zone planets. The dowager Queen decides to go to Hellhole on a diplomatic mission, hoping to keep her power. But after touring Hellhole, Queen Michella is shaken, and begins to realize that she can never have the old Monarchy back. Before the Queen can return to Sonjeera, she's captured by the rogue Xayans and learns the reason for their attack: the orthodox Xayans had developed their minds to the point where they could evolve and, in so doing, trigger another Big Bang, wiping out everything. The rogue Xayans thought they succeeded in stopping the ascension, but the orthodox Xayans on Hellhole are nearly ready. Now, twenty-two huge asteroids from the outer reaches of the solar system are bearing towards Hellhole, summoned by the rogue sect as a last resort. Can all these lives and the planet itself be saved?

Hellhole

by Gina Damico

A devil is a bad influence . . . There was a time when geeky, squeaky-clean Max Kilgore would never lie or steal or even think about murder. Then he accidentally unearths a devil, and Max's choices are no longer his own. The big red guy has a penchant for couch surfing and junk food--and you should never underestimate evil on a sugar high. With the help of Lore, a former goth girl who knows a thing or two about the dark side, Max is racing against the clock to get rid of the houseguest from hell before time, and all the Flamin' Hot Cheetos this side of the fiery abyss, run out. Gina Damico, author of the Croak series, once again delivers all the horror, hilarity, and high-stakes drama that any kid in high school or hell could ever handle.

Hellhole Awakening

by Brian Herbert Kevin J. Anderson

After declaring his independence from the corrupt Constellation, exiled rebel General Adolphus knows the crackdown is coming. Now he needs to pull together the struggling Hellhole colony, the ever-expanding shadow-Xayan settlement, and his connections with the other Deep Zone worlds. Even then, he doubts his desperate measures will be enough to save his planet from annihilation. On the capital world of Sonjeera, the ruler Diadem Michella Duchenet has collected a huge fleet led by firebrand Commodore Escobar Hallholme, son of the legndary hero who originally defeated Adolphus. They expect resistance from the General's rebels, but who could possibly stand up to such a mighty fleet? However, the Diadem is nervous. Cracks have appeared in her seamless Constellation; inspectors have disappeared, taxes are in arrears, some officials have dared to ignore her orders. Crushing this cursed Deep Zone rebellion, she thinks, will end the foolishness once and for all. And what better way to send a signal than to devastate Hellhole? Adolphus knows he's running out of time and ideas, but he still has some hope-the shadow-Xayans have banded together to defend their sacred planet with "telemancy," but can they discover new powers to protect all the stored alien lives on the already devastated world? And when all hope seems lost, the awakened Xayans reveal information that has been hidden even from their own followers-the existence of a bigger threat that makes even the huge Constellation fleet seem insignificant. Disaster has come for General Adolphus and Hellhole. . . and this time there is no escape.

Hellhound

by Nancy Holzner

They call it Deadtown: the city's quarantined section for its inhuman and undead residents. Most humans stay far from its borders--but Victory Vaughn, Boston's only professional demon slayer, isn't exactly human.... Boston's zombies have suddenly become inexplicably violent--horror movie-style--resulting in a catastrophic all-out battle against humans. More troubling to Vicky is that she's had dreams and visions of herself fighting alongside the demons. At least, she hopes they're just visions--otherwise, that puts her on the front lines of the wrong side of the war. Vicky's not surprised to discover that Pryce, her demi-demon cousin and loathed adversary, is behind the outbreak of the zombie plague, having formed an unholy pact with the Old Ones. Now, as the violence escalates and alliances shift, Vicky knows she's the only one who can stop the plague. Unless the pack of hellhounds on her trail finds her first.

The headlines screamed that Six Corners, a little hamlet in Pennsylvania, had been wiped out by the Horror. Another front-page story told of a Terror in the Amazon Valley which had sent the natives down the river in babbling fear.

The second novel in the epic Helliconia trilogy. It is the summer of the Great Year on Helliconia. The humans are involved with their own affairs.

Helliconia Summer: Helliconia Spring; Helliconia Summer; Helliconia Winter (The Helliconia Trilogy #2)

by Brian W. Aldiss

The Grand Master of Science Fiction&’s &“monumental&” epic continues as Helliconia nears its larger star—and a strange visitor joins its civilization (The Times, London). A handful of centuries on, Helliconia is close to the larger star in its binary system, and the Phagors have been driven into exile, but conflicting religions and hostility to science keep human civilization fragmented and constantly fighting wars over petty power and fertile land as a plague devastates populations. However, everything changes when a secret visitor from the observer satellite from Earth accepts a slow death in order to visit the planet and spend his time in the sunlight and open air. More than thirty years after the original publication of Helliconia Spring, the first volume of the Helliconia Trilogy, the series is newly available, now with a map, an afterword, and an introduction by the author.

The Helliconia Trilogy: Helliconia Spring, Helliconia Summer, and Helliconia Winter (The Helliconia Trilogy #Bks. 1-3)

by Brian W Aldiss

From a Science Fiction Grand Master: The sweeping epic of a planet veering from one extreme atmosphere to another--and the humans trying to survive on it. Helliconia Spring introduces us to a tumultuous world that follows an eccentric orbit around a double-star system--and the satellite from Earth secretly monitoring it. Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Brian W. Aldiss then explores the social and religious divisions keeping the planet's population in conflict even as they're devastated by plague in Helliconia Summer, and concludes the trilogy with Helliconia Winter, which recounts both the threat of a looming, frigid age of decay and the hope of a new future. The Helliconia Trilogy is both a riveting story and a thought-provoking examination of how our destinies are shaped by the environment around us. Aldiss's study of fields from astronomy to climatology to geobiology endow all three novels with rich details of the planet Helliconia. This riveting, century-spanning saga is a timely exploration of what climate change can mean for our own planet. "Brian Aldiss's towering imagination places his Helliconia Trilogy far above standard science fiction" (Daily Mail).

Helliconia Winter: Helliconia Spring; Helliconia Summer; Helliconia Winter (Helliconia Trilogy, Volume #3)

by Brian W. Aldiss

Brian Aldiss's epic science fantasy trilogy tells how scientists from earth;, living in a sociologically altered orbital observation station, study the conflict between primitive human-like and cattle-like beings on a planet with seasons lasting centuries. Atheneum's summary of the third volume reads as follows. Brian Aldiss's Helliconia Trilogy-already hailed as his greatest achievement and possibly the greatest science fiction epic of our time-comes to a spectacular conclusion in Helliconia Winter. On Helliconia, Aldiss's special planet, where one year lasts two and a half thousand earth years and winter is seven centuries long, snow is now falling. As Helliconia moves on its elliptical path away from the warmth of the sun Freyr, crops fail, and the growing harshness of the climate is matched by the harshness of government under the Oligarch. Now, too, mankind's ancient enemies, the phagors, begin to leave their mountain fastnesses to war upon human civilization. Here is a magical story of journeys, strange transformations, and the world of events that paralyze or alter the lives of men and women. It is the story of a great battle, whose victors are betrayed and exterminated. The story of a beautiful woman who falls into the hands of her husband's slayer. The story of Luterin Shokerandit, who undertakes a pilgrimage of breathtaking peril through the gathering winter to the farthest polar reaches of the planet, and enters the Great Wheel of Kharnabhar, where the prisoners of the Wheel are believed to row their planet back to light. Involved in this drama are other dimensions: the world of the dead; distant Earth-also undergoing winter-and the deities that preside over the life of both planets. Out of all this vast and rich material, Brian Aldiss has created a grand and panoramic novel, a climax to his trilogy, in which metaphysical speculation flows side by side with memorable settings and an assembly of striking characters. In a long and enthusiastic review of Helliconia Spring and Helliconia Summer, the New York Times concluded by saying, "Mr. Aldiss is now in competition with no one but himself." This time, he has beaten the competition.
