In a harrowing journey through the depths of hell, one man seeks to liberate the unfairly damned.

Allan Carpenter escaped from hell once but remained haunted by what he saw and endured. He has now returned, on a mission to free those souls unjustly tortured and confined.

Partnering with the legendary poet and suicide, Sylvia Plath, Carpenter is a modern-day Christ determined to harrow hell and rescue the condemned. But having descended back into this Dantesque Inferno, can he ever again leave?

Escape from Hell is an epic tale blending fantasy, the supernatural, and dystopian elements in a sweeping adventure. From acclaimed authors Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, this cerebral and suspenseful novel will captivate fans of occult and supernatural thrillers.
