Recent Arrivals: Hellhole by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson

SFFaudio Recent Arrivals

In the press release for Hellhole it says: Kevin J. Anderson “set the Guinness certified world record for the largest single-author book signing.”

I’m thinking this is one of those quantity over quality cases.

And yet, Kevin J. Anderson has written good stories, I liked his Rough Draft as well as Paradox & Greenblatt, Attorneys at Law stories.

This new series doesn’t appeal to me.

Who among you has read it?

Who among you has liked it?

And most importantly who among you has read it and liked it and why?

Published: March 15, 2011

The human interstellar government, the Constellation, consists of 20 allied “old guard” worlds, centered on the lush capital planet of Sonjeera. The society is wealthy with a feuding, decadent upper class, ruled by the dowager Diadem Michella Duchenet—a tyrant with a sweet face, charming public disposition, and a shriveled, blackened heart—who has been on the throne for decades. But as the population of the core worlds has grown and noble families divided their profitable holdings into smaller and smaller pieces, pressures increase for change, for new territory. After the failure of a devastating revolution, the Diadem Michella realizes she must open the wild frontier of unexplored planets.

H.P. Lovecraft fans take heed, this fascinating and informative interview is absolutely unmissable!
