May I recommend Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's book "Inferno" which is a science fiction book with a modern twist on Dante's Inferno. One of my favourite books, and one which has a newly published sequel "Escape from hell" which I haven't read yet but will soon.

I'll look forward to reading your story :-)

I just looked it up, the book, and I was surprised to 1) find a very cheap copy (the Dutch translation) - def. cheap enough to make me consider buying it, 2) what seems like a very interesting plot, and 3) Larry Niven is the writer of a book my father very much likes - so this only adds to my curiosity. I guess it'd be a good beginning to start reading books again (as I sort of gave it up when my ability concentrate seemed to get less and less)... :)

I'm glad you are, and more will follow soon (hopefully ;) ). And thank you for the reccomendation.

I like a lot of Larry Niven's stuff too. I don't read a lot of SF these days but I used to read about 2 a week before I got a computer!

I haven't read a lot - and what I did/do read are mostly short stories, of which there are often 25 or 50 put together in one book; dad owns a lot of those. SF is really quite a nice genre though, and very diverse in subjects as well!

Interesting start! Keep going. :D

Ohh... this looks interesting! Looking forward for more!

I'm very happy to read you think it's interesting - more will probably follow after a new chapter of the Maxwell Institution.

didzease February 18 2009, 15:41:30 UTC

I will, I will! Don't worry! ;) I've started writing the next chapter, although I'll probably first complete another chapter of the Maxwell Institution.

This is really wonderful written. You describe so vividly, I could almost see that place. And the idea of sending them to hell is really excellent!

Hell is where all the interesting people are...

Oh, thank you for your comment! And that's exactly what I wanted you to do - see the place like I imagine it would be like.

And Hell's got some things BIG up for them, so beware!

This looks promising, great description;)
Sorry for the uselessly short comments, but today's like that.
