Buy Hellbound

"Hellbound is one of the most enthralling and energetic books that I've ever read. On a whim, I bought this book and ended up being completely unable to put it down.

The plot is delicious, the characters are so delightfully varied and robust, but they all pale in comparison to the imagery which this book illicit.

Be prepared to be swept away into the underworld... then finding out that you love it!

As a lover of philosophy and anthropology (with several years of Catholic school thrown in) I found this book to be an utterly liberating take on the traditional story of heaven, hell, god and satan.

If you haven't already, do yourself a favour and buy this book... or steal it and become Hellbound! "

"Hellbound is a fast-moving, interesting read. I recognize some of Dante's and possibly Niven's/Pournelle's influences in the descriptions of Hell, but the general atmosphere is actually more visceral, with the link to a Vegas-like setting. I like the twists and turns of the ending, but found it almost moved too fast at the very end - I wanted more. I'm looking forward to a sequel.

Overall an enjoyable read and definitely a book I'd recommend to anyone with a taste for fantasy/sci-fi/philosophy/action writings. "

"I started reading this via Authonomy where Tim is a member and was sharing early looks at the book. Watching the book evolve to what it is today has been amazing. It is truly one of the most interesting books I have read in a long time, it sucked me and kept me reading and reading.

His ability to create the environment in your mind when reading is astounding, the detail to everything, even down to the littlest points make this book a great read. Will be interesting to see if this makes the leap from small time author to film fag... Good luck to him..

Def recommendation. "

"I read this book a great while ago and forgot to leave a review. Shame on me! Recentlly the film Tucker and Dale vs. Evil played a genius little twist on the cliche settings of its genre.

Mr. Hawken is a master of misdirection and a natural story teller. If this book were made into a movie I can only hope someone with serious talent gets involved. I found the dialogue very pulpy and witty. I want to read it again so I can go back to hell one more time. Going there with Hawken isn't so bad. "
