About this listen

Strap on your power armor and get ready to fight like hell.

Ash Wednesday and his crew of corporate space marines take work as bounty hunters tasked with taking down the deadly fugitive named Simon Haddo, a mad scientist with an occult obsession and the most infamous terrorist in the system. As they track him through the depths of a gruesome space station, the mercs of Team Omega soon find themselves drawn into a galactic conspiracy bent on creating a literal hell on earth in this violent sci-fi remix of Dante's Divine Comedy.

This omnibus edition collects the novels Inferno Station, Fortress Purgatory, and Starship Paradiso.

Helltroopers is, as the author explains in a preface, a modern science fiction reinventing of Dante's original hell book, Inferno and as such proceeds in a slightly different way from most action stories today. The reader follows Ash and his Omega Team from the independent gun ship Thelma in their pursuit of a long disappeared mass murderer named Haddo with the assistance of a mysterious woman, believed to be an android, who joined their ship at the completion of their last mission to destroy some space pirates. The Corporation job had seemed to be virtually impossible but the money was far too good to turn down. The Team would come to regret their acceptance of the mission. Landing on the asteroid which is Inferno Station, they make their way through various hellish layers, constantly fighting to stay alive.

The book is action packed as Team Omega try to apprehend their quarry. Each team member is nicely introduced with background information but thereafter there is little further character development. Fortunately, narrator Persephone Rose is able to breath life into the individuals with a distinctive voice for each as well as for the additional characters, such as Char, the ship's AI, the talking head from the Corporation and the enigmatic newcomer, Barbara Ann. The performance is excellent with the text read with feeling and enthusiasm, well paced and pleasant to hear. It is this narration which, for this reader, drove the story forward. Occasional sound effects also add to the atmosphere.

My thanks to the rights holder of Helltroopers who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Exciting action but something doesn't feel quite right, possibly because it's a modern treatment of Dante's Divine Comedy

Enough with the symbols, people.

This was a good imagining although very well written i found it a little dragged out and it fell flat in some areas. overall the story was worth a listen but not sure if i would buy it full price on kindle. The narration was excellent and I feel lifted the story up a notch so hence the 4 star rating. This would not put me off any of Isaacs further works but make me investigate further into it whilst I would actively look at further narration by Persephone.
I asked for this audio and have left my thoughts on this for you to peruse.
