Hell's Heart

Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative, spicy, slow-burn adventure from the bestselling author of Boyfriend Material, Alexis Hall. Earth is dead. Which leaves humanity stuck living under domes on planets that will kill them if they run out of fuel - fuel harvested at great risk from gargantuan space monsters. Following a charismatic captain, a nameless voyager joins this monster hunt. She's hoping to get paid, and maybe laid. And in the ship's close quarters, she finds an unlikely ally in Q, a fierce woman from old earth, whose touch ignites something within her. Ordered to pursue the greatest leviathan of all, the crew will fight beasts, other ships and one another. All in search of their nemesis, above the roiling red heart of that world.

Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in their purse, and nothing in particular to interest them on shore, Alexis Hall thought they would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. Unfortunately, the boat they were in sank with all hands, and they were only rescued by a passing whaler. They have since become a novelist and are the author of Boyfriend Material and Hell's Heart.
