Hell's Heart

Bold, queer and utterly thrilling, Hell's Heart is a speculative, spicy, slow-burn adventure in space 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.
