Earth is dying. Humanity is on the run. And the war that could decide the fate of the universe may just have begun.
The year is 2179, and humanity’s golden age of space expansion shatters in an instant.
Astronomer Jayne Flynn detects the first undeniable signal of alien intelligence in over a century—just as a battle-scarred, ancient warship erupts from beneath Yellowstone, triggering a cataclysmic supervolcano explosion that wipes out billions and renders Earth uninhabitable.
As chaos spreads across the solar system, desperate survivors look to the Trine, a fleet of mysterious alien vessels that arrive from deep space.
But the Trine are not what they seem. They reveal a horrifying truth—the Graxx, an ancient, galaxy-destroying species, have a terrifying connection with Homo sapiens. And the Trine have been locked in an aeons old war with them.
With the last remnants of humanity fleeing to the stars, a desperate alliance forms between the Earth Defense Fleet (EDF) and the Trine, but trust is fragile, and old hatreds run deep.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, a dangerous cult leader, Saastra Prime, escapes captivity, ready to seize control of the human race and reshape its destiny.
As a Graxx mothership the size of a small moon emerges from Jupiter’s Red Spot, the EDF and the Trine prepare for the battle that may determine whether humanity will rise… or be erased from existence, but is all as it seems?

HELL SPACE is a cinematic, high-stakes sci-fi epic blending the political intrigue of The Expanse, the relentless action of Battlestar Galactica, and the existential dread of Mass Effect. Perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky, James S.A. Corey, Alastair Reynolds, Andy Weir and Arthur C Clarke to name but a few.

Authors

We are a father-and-son writing duo, The David Sangsters, and we believe our unique collaboration presents an intriguing hook for both marketing and media interest.

David Snr. (born 1948) is a retired hotelier and lifelong sci-fi enthusiast whose love for the genre began over 65 years ago when he first discovered Ray Bradbury’s The Golden Apples of the Sun in Worcester library when his family moved there from Scotland. His influences span from Larry Niven and Harlan Ellison to Steven Erikson and Terry Pratchett and most sci-fi and fantasy authors in-between.

David Jnr. (born 1970) is a retired solicitor. Growing up in Tenby, surrounded by his father’s extensive sci-fi collection, he developed a passion for the genre, drawing inspiration from authors such as Douglas Adams, Andy Weir, Frank Herbert, and Cormac McCarthy.

Hell Space Book 1 – Revelations blends fast-paced action with deep world-building, exploring political and religious themes within a dystopian future. Following the devastation of Earth due to an alien war in the Solar System, humanity struggles to survive amidst warring factions and advanced extra-terrestrial civilizations. The novel offers a gripping, multi-layered narrative that could resonate with fans of Dune and The Expanse, with a richly developed universe capable of supporting spin-offs and expansions.

We are currently working on Book 2, where humanity’s survivors navigate fragile alliances with differing alien species while political intrigue and betrayal shape the fate of their civilization. Given the relevance of these themes in today’s geopolitical climate, we believe this story series has significant depth and appeal to intrigue readers of sci-fi.
