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.

Critic Reviews

Hell's Heart is a startling, ferocious love letter to all the rawest emotions the human body can produce. Hall is a master of voice and scale, and this relentlessly gripping ode to the splendours and miseries of existence is no exception. I can't think of anyone else who could successfully pull off Moby Dick meets Treasure Planet by way of Fleabag – an unbelievable accomplishment from a tremendous author (Sarah Gailey, USA Today bestselling author of Spread Me and Just Like Home)
Wow (John Scalzi, author of When the Moon Hits Your Eye)
Charli Anne Delores manifests a nameless narrator with a self-destructive streak in this SF reimagining of Moby-Dick... A queer fever dream made real by committed narration
Fey, funny, and extremely metal (Malka Older, author of The Mimicking of Known Successes)
Hall’s best, weirdest, and most snarkily delightful book yet (Ruthanna Emrys, author of A Half-Built Garden)
A towering love song to both Melville and Joan D. Vinge, a marvelous, intricate, heart-shattering romp (Lilith Saintcrow, author of Strange Angels)
Goes like gangbusters and is entirely unhinged. I'll follow Alexis Hall anywhere (Kelly Robson, author of High Times in the Low Parliament)
One of my favourite books of the year
