Hella

Praise for Hella

"The effortlessly diverse cast, complex political machinations, and heartfelt coming-of-age themes combine to create a fleshed-out vision of the future that is intense, emotional, and immersive while still maintaining a sense of rollicking fun. Sci-fi readers should snap this up." Publishers Weekly (starred)

"Gerrold has created a vibrant world with a creative exploration of colonization and alien ecology that also smoothly touches on polyamory, gender confirmation, and queer relationships. Hella does what science fiction does best: it uses classic sf tropes to ask important questions about contemporary society." Booklist (starred)

"The thoughtful and enjoyable page-turner Hella [is] a book sure to entrance anyone with an active imagination for distant worlds and giant monsters." Chicago Review of Books

"Sci-fi has a strong tradition of deathworld planets. David Gerrold s Hella is one of them, on steroids.... Gerrold makes it plain that there s as much drama and danger in office politics as there is in dealing with wild beasts." Wall Street Journal
