Call it a loss-leader.  Or a glitch.  Or over-enthusiastic lowest-price-matching bots having a duel between bookstores. Whatever the reason, amazon is having a ridiculous sale on my novel HELLHOLE with Brian Herbert.  The novel—new, hardcover, first editions—is selling for only $1.77 (and free shipping if you’re an amazon Prime customer).

Order here for $1.77 That’s a savings of 93%. If you enjoyed our Dune books, or if you have anyone who likes epic science fiction on your holiday gift list, you can’t beat the price.

Only the most desperate colonists dare to make a new home on Hellhole. Reeling from a recent asteroid impact, tortured with horrific storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and churning volcanic eruptions, the planet is a dumping ground for undesirables, misfits, and charlatans…but also a haven for dreamers and independent pioneers.

Against all odds, an exiled general named Adolphus has turned Hellhole into a place of real opportunity for the desperate colonists who call the planet their home. While the colonists are hard at work developing the planet, General Adolphus secretly builds alliances with the leaders of the other Deep Zone worlds, forming a clandestine coalition against the tyrannical, fossilized government responsible for their exile.

What no one knows is this: the planet Hellhole, though damaged and volatile, hides an amazing secret. Deep beneath its surface lies the remnants of an obliterated alien civilization and the buried memories of its unrecorded past that, when unearthed, could tear the galaxy apart.

Brian and I have written, and are polishing, the second novel in the trilogy, HELLHOLE AWAKENING
