With an army of demonic aliens hot on their heels, it’s a high-stakes 350-mile race with simple rules. Win and live, or lose and die!

In the chilling sequel to Hell Holes: What Lurks Below, the nightmare intensifies in Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton. As demonic aliens pour out of the hell holes that conceal their interplanetary portals, a desperate race for survival begins, setting the stage for an epic battle between Earth’s militaries and the armies of Hell.

Geologist Jack Oswald, his climatologist wife Angele Menendez, and the ageless sorceress-demon-hunter Aileen O’Shannon are the sole survivors from the initial research team sent to investigate the mysterious holes in the Arctic tundra. Now that a full-scale invasion has begun, they must flee 350 miles down the treacherous Dalton Highway to seek refuge in Fairbanks. Relentlessly pursued by an army of devils, imps, hellhounds, and gargoyles, their path is riddled with danger, and every moment becomes a battle for survival.

Jack, Angele, and Aileen’s intelligence, courage, and humanity make them the perfect champions in this fight against demonic forces. The dynamic interplay between these richly developed and infinitely relatable characters immerses readers deeper into the Hell Holes universe, making the extraordinary events they face real and immediate. Their journey is more than a fight for survival; it stands as a testament to the unconquerable human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.

Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton is an adrenaline-fueled tale that masterfully combines relentless heart-thumping action, spine-chilling danger, horrifying monsters, and nail-biting suspense. It is a masterclass in tension and excitement, captivating readers from the very first page to the last. Crafted with meticulous detail, the vividly depicted scenes of confrontation and escape leave readers on the edge of their seats.

If you’re a fan of alien invasion science fiction, action-adventure, or horror that pits the indomitable will of humanity against the forces of evil, then Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton is an absolute must-read. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable journey down the Dalton Highway, where the best of humanity must outrun the rapidly advancing army of the Demonic Empire. Grab your copy today and join the race where the only option is to drive fast and never look back.

Product description

Review

"Hell Holes: Demons on the Dalton is another action-packed battle/race with demons that were introduced in the first book. Like the first book, the story moves pretty steadily with liberal amounts of action and suspense. In this second installment, the US military gets involved and we're put right into the middle of a war. There are some other new elements in book 2, but I won't spoil it for those who have yet to read it. If you like action/adventure, this book will not disappoint you. I'm looking forward to book 3." Dave Robertson, Author of Strange Hunting, Strange Hunting II, and The Brave and The Dead

4.0 out of 5 stars One way to explain sink holes
Reviewed in Australia on 20 January 2021
Interesting but far fetched. Though I suppose all fantasy is of that nature. I liked the characters and the author gave them an individuality and was creative in his scene settings

The author continues the drama with book 2. Demons, imps and gargoyles invade Alaska via hell holes with geologists, good magic - and the US Army - keeping the action going. Looking forward to Book 3

Firesmith pens an intense, devil fighting, story in Hell Holes 2: Demons on the Dalton . I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. 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. This is a magnificent story, kept this reader turning the pages. The thrills and intrigue is written clearly 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 is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller involving demons, ghouls, gargoyles and hellfire in Alaska
Reviewed in Canada on 20 February 2018

When I read the first Hell Holes novel (What Lurks Below), I was uncertain as to whether or not I would post a review. The story was certainly interesting and fast-paced. Lots of authentic-sounding scientific terminology when appropriate, and not used to “impress” the lay reader. The question on my mind was,”This sounds great, but will the follow-up be satisfying and revealing of plot details hinted at in the first one, or will it fizzle?”
I decided to purchase and read Hell Holes #2 (Demons on the Dalton), and it took the established plot details, picked up the pace, and was quite addictive as reading material. The ‘Magic versus Science” elements were very well done.
So, a book well worth the cost, and the bonus of a follow-up maybe even better than this one.

Ridiculously far fetched but nevertheless enjoyable, the pace of the action and the well rounded characters kept me enthralled throughout.
