Title:
Hell Holes: What Lurks Below
Author:
Donald Firesmith
Genre:
Apocalyptic Scifi / Horror
It’s August in
Alaska, and geology professor Jack Oswald prepares for the new school
year. But when hundreds of huge holes mysteriously appear overnight
in the frozen tundra north of the Arctic Circle, Jack receives an
unexpected phone call. An oil company exec hires Jack to investigate,
and he picks his climatologist wife and two of their graduate
students as his team. Uncharacteristically, Jack also lets Aileen
O’Shannon, a bewitchingly beautiful young photojournalist, talk him
into coming along as their photographer. When they arrive in the
remote oil town of Deadhorse, the exec and a biologist to protect
them from wild animals join the team. Their task: to assess the risk
of more holes opening under the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and the wells
and pipelines that feed it. But they discover a far worse danger
lurks below. When it emerges, it threatens to shatter Jack’s
unshakable faith in science. And destroy us all…
Author
Bio
A
computer geek by day, Donald Firesmith works as a system and software
engineer helping the US Government acquire large, complex
software-intensive systems. In this guise, he has authored seven
technical books, written numerous software- and system-related
articles and papers, and spoken at more conferences than he can
possibly remember. He is also proud to have been named a
Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery,
although his pride is tempered somewhat worrying whether the term
“distinguished” makes him sound more like a graybeard academic
rather than an active engineer whose beard is still more red than
gray.
By
night and on weekends, his alter ego writes modern paranormal
fantasy, apocalyptic science fiction, action and adventure novels and
relaxes by handcrafting magic wands from various magical woods and
mystical gemstones. His first foray into fiction is the book Magical
Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore written under the pen name Wolfrick
Ignatius Feuerschmied. He lives in Crafton, Pennsylvania with his
wife Becky and his youngest son Dane.
