The Hell Ship

Ray Palmer

The Hell Ship

The Hell Ship

Ray Palmer

Novels, Science-Fiction & Fantasy

The Hell Ship is a vessel of nightmares hurtling through the void. Inside its hold are thousands of slaves, each the last survivor of a civilization the ship has already destroyed. Homes burned. Families slaughtered. And now these remnants of dead worlds serve their captors in chains. Sharrock was once a hero, a man of courage and command, until one catastrophic moment reduced him to cargo like all the rest. Now, stripped of everything but his rage, he has sworn a terrible vengeance against the monster who unmade him. But salvation drifts closer through the black. Jak has pursued the Hell Ship for years, battle after battle leaving him scarred and broken, a human mind trapped in the iron shell of a starship, driven by singular purpose: to burn this instrument of genocide from the sky. When Sharrock and Jak find each other across the light-years, two desperate wills converge against impossible odds. Together, they might end this interstellar horror. Or they might die trying, adding their bones to the weight of all the others.
