Don't. Get. Caught.

The only thing worse than fighting a Hellship, powerful starships controlled by entities of pure evil, is being captured by one!

Drake’s sister was taken by the hellship Azimuth, dooming her to a life of pain followed by an agonising death. Unless Drake can save her.

Tales of his quest are told across hundreds of systems, but Drake doesn’t care. All he wants is to stop the Azimuth continuing with its reign of evil and keep his promise to his sister. No matter the cost.

Will he succeed? Grab Hellfire – Treachery today and find out for yourself!

Review

This is a story you won't be able to put down, so go ahead and enjoy yourself!C. Meyer (Amazon review)
An amazing space story with lots of action, great characters that keep you turning pages to the end.Dee W (Amazon review)
This book didn't start at full speed, the author lets you breath for the first 1/4-1/3 of the book before the pages just start turning themselves and you start losing sleep. But it is great getting to know Drake, getting to know his ship, the Dagger (nobody creates sentient spacecraft better than Goodson), and getting to know Drake's crew and mission.
Far Left Texas (Amazon review)

From the Author

What's special about the Hellfire series?
It has to be thehellships - malevolent intelligences which enslave their entire crew, drawingpleasure from the suffering they cause.

That and Drake, the main character. He's a real fighter, driven todestroy the hellships he hates but not so blinded by that hatred that he isunable to care for his crew.



Where did the idea of the hellships come from?
It's hard to say as Ithink the idea was rolling around in the back of my head for a long time.There's definitely an element of hellships being the exact opposite of theWanderer from my Wanderer's Odyssey series.

Where the Wanderer is a benevolent and helpful presence for Jess in theWanderer series, I started imagining being mentally joined to a ship which wasvery different... and which you couldn't escape from.

From there thehellships evolved... and wow! They are very different to theWanderer!


How would you classify the series?
It's definitelySci-Fi adventure and Space Opera, with lots of action and high stakes for Drakeand his crew. It aims to whisk you away to a fantastical sci-fi universewhere the speed of light can be sidestepped, massive starships battle, and evilis both real and tangible in the form of the hellships.


Just how big is the series now?
Three books... butthat won't be the end. Initially it was always going to be a trilogy,well once I'd realised it was more than just a fun short story it was.Even when I finished book three that was the idea. But... the world istoo much fun. I've already written a short story which follows on frombook three (not published yet) and I'm starting to get the feeling there's alot more to the story so watch this space.


Anything else special about this series?
Yes... the threebooks were mostly written while walking my dogs. They are the first fullnovels I've dictated and I'm really pleased with them. They also gave mesome laughs when the transcription software got a word or phrase totallywrong. And then there was the summer's day when a wasp flew into thesleeve of my T-Shirt and stung me under the armpit! I have the recordingof the disbelief and swearing forever now. And there was quite a bit ofswearing - it REALLY hurt.

Welcome! Come in! Take a seat by the fire and let me tell you a tale of adventure, danger, ancient starships, and universe threatening evil… (Wanderer's Escape)

Or maybe you’d prefer a tale of magical powers, dark deeds and one man’s fight to do good despite the darkness within him… (Dark Soul Silenced)

Ah! You can only stay a brief while? Then I have many shorter tales to entertain and delight you, but beware… one will never be enough! (Tales from the Starflare Universe & beyond)

Oh… it’s you… you with the insatiable appetite for new stories. Well then, I have a treat for you. Visit my site SciFi-Shorts.com for a whole bunch of totally free short stories, with a new story added every two weeks.

You came here to learn about me? Well, there’s no accounting for taste I suppose. This tale is not as dramatic as the others, but perhaps you will still enjoy hearing it. I'm a father of three who's always loved to read and make up stories. My teachers recognised this skill from an early age, and gave me the lofty title of Daydreamer.

After many years I decided to get the worlds I created in my mind down onto paper... well, the computer anyway (my writing is horrendously unreadable!) and other people read and enjoyed them. So I keep on writing, people keep on reading, and our dogs keep on demanding they be fed. Really. Every ten minutes! It's a wonder they can fit through the door.

He keeps you guessing throughout the story with a fantastic twist at the end. You're going to have to read it for yourself. Its worth waiting for.

The storyline blends both quite well. The characters were very believable, especially the commander who needed a good smack or two. Towards the end of the book a secret is revealed. Shocked me as I had not expected anything even remotely close to it. Overall, the book is a good read & not like anything I’ve ever came across before

These characters are less rounded, the description less vibrant. There is a well orchestrated twist that makes some of these flaws understandable if not forgivable.

I was interested from page 1. It kept me guessing to the end of book one, then came around the corner with a good head slap. I wasn't expecting the outcome and will download # 2 shortly.

Hell ships, they are well named. They live on the suffering and life force of captured humans. Their biggest threat is a captain who'd lost his sister to one of the worst and has vowed to kill as many as he can.
I read this is one sitting and emotionally enjoyed the characters and the universe it was written in and would like to read on. An excellent series starter
