15-year-old Paul Chapman, his mother, and his twin sister. Taken as
slaves and food to Hell, a planet orbiting a nearby star, their
survival is extraordinarily difficult and far from certain. As the

slave or die as food for his masters. How much must Paul collaborate
with his demon masters to survive?

To Hell and Back
Hell Holes Book 3
The
beautiful young photojournalist, Aileen O’Shannon, is not who she
seems. For centuries, she has been a demon hunter, a sorceress who
has tracked and killed small bands of demons that occasionally
crossed into our world. But that changed when she joined Dr. Jack
Oswald’s expedition to study one of hundreds of huge holes that
mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen tundra north of the
Arctic Circle.Instead of small sporadic incursions, hordes of demons
now pour from these hell holes like water from a sieve. With bombing
little more than a losing game of whack-a-mole, Earth’s armies are
unable to destroy the portals. When Jack suggests a desperate plan,
he is drafted to join Aileen and a team of other sorcerers and Army
Rangers to travel to the demon homeworld. Once there, they will
unleash a plague virus and set off a nuclear bomb to destroy the
portal complex. It’s a suicide mission. But Aileen has given Jack’s
wife her word to bring him back safely, and the demons have already
killed three men under her protection. Just how far will Aileen go to
avoid losing another?
Demons on the Dalton
Hell Holes Book 2
When
hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen
tundra north of the Arctic Circle, geologist Jack Oswald picked
Angele Menendez, his climatologist wife, to determine if the record
temperatures due to climate change was the cause. But the holes were
not natural. They were unnatural portals for an invading army of
demons. Together with Aileen O'Shannon, a 1,700-year-old sorceress
demon-hunter, the three survivors of the research team sent to study
the holes had only one chance: to flee down the dangerous Dalton
Highway towards the relative safety of Fairbanks. However, the
advancing horde of devils, imps, hellhounds, and gargoyles will stop
at nothing to prevent their prey from escaping. It is a 350-mile race
with simple rules. Win and live; lose and die...
What Lurks Below
Hell Holes Book 1
It’s
August in Alaska, and geology professor Jack Oswald prepares for the
new school year. But when hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appear
overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, Jack
receives an unexpected phone call. An oil company exec hires Jack to
investigate, and he picks his climatologist wife and two of their
graduate students as his team. Uncharacteristically, Jack also lets
Aileen O’Shannon, a bewitchingly beautiful young photojournalist,
talk him into coming along as their photographer. When they arrive in
the remote oil town of Deadhorse, the exec and a biologist to protect
them from wild animals join the team. Their task: to assess the risk
of more holes opening under the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the wells
and pipelines that feed it. But they discover a far worse danger
lurks below. When it emerges, it threatens to shatter Jack’s
unshakable faith in science. And destroy us all…
