Demons on the Dalton

Hell Holes, Book 2

By: Donald Firesmith

Narrated by: Gary Tredwell

When hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appeared overnight in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, geologist Jack Oswald picked Angele Menendez, his climatologist wife, to determine if the record temperatures due to climate change was the cause. But the holes were not natural. They were unnatural portals for an invading army of demons.

Together with Aileen O'Shannon, a 1,400-year-old sorceress demon-hunter, the three survivors of the research team sent to study the holes had only one chance: to flee down the dangerous Dalton Highway towards the relative safety of Fairbanks. However, the advancing horde of devils, imps, hellhounds, and gargoyles will stop at nothing to prevent their prey from escaping. It is a 350-mile race with simple rules. Win and live; lose and die....

Demon hunting at a w"hole" new level

Firesmith tells an intense, devil fighting, story in Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton. I read the first book in the series a while ago, but after looking at my old notes on it, I liked this one a hell (pun intended) of a lot better. The characters were strong, and intelligent. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth, and were very realistic, even the extremely old sorceress, Aileen. It's survival of the smartest and best, as the hounds of hell (and other magnificently evil creatures) emerge! This author is not just a writer but a great storyteller, and this story being told brings a new twist to the story. Even if you've read it, you're still surprised at every corner. The thrills and intrigue is clear, and the characterizations are engrossing. Love this story. If you love a good demonic fighting, evil against more than just the good, but the strength of humanity, this book should be next on your list. Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more stories by this author.
