About The Book
An epic story of love, loss, friendship, and survival under the most hellish of conditions, Hell Holes: A Slave's Revenge is the award-winning prequel to the Hell Holes series of alien invasion novels.
After killing his father, alien demons teleport a fifteen-year-old boy, his mother, and his sister to Hell, a desert world in the Demonic Empire. With survival far from certain, they have just two choices: to live as useful slaves or die as demon food. As the boy becomes a man, he must decide just how much he must collaborate with his demon masters to survive.
But can he live long enough to take his revenge and regain his freedom without losing his humanity and his very soul?
My Thoughts
If you ask me, I am more into Fantasy, Horror & Science Fiction in a visual formats, like TV series and movies. The main reason for this is that I somehow feel these mediums justify the genre as it requires a lot of visual stimulation. For example, consider how beautiful it is to see Avatar or movies like that.
When I picked up the book, I had my reservations. However, author Donald Firesmith proved me wrong with his brilliant writing.
His choice of words and sentence formation are easy to grasp yet so effective. The way he described the various locations with simple words is something to learn from for all aspiring authors.
The action scenes are something to read again and again.
I felt that this book is a great contender for a TV series adaptation.
Overall, I recommend it to all Fantasy, Horror & Science Fiction lovers.
