Talk:Heroes in Hell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Number of books / book order
There are actually 12 books in the series. The missing book is titled The Little Helliad by Janet and Chris Morris (1988 Baen Books ISBN 0-671-65366-0) and is written from the perspecive of Homer, who is confronted by Satan and forced to write an epic depicting Satan as a hero, much as Homer did for Achillies in the Iliad. Unlike most of the other books in the series, this novel is not a collection of short stories, but it does contain many characters previlant throughout the series including Alexander the Great, Tanya Burke, Welch, Nichols, Altos the Angel, Achilles, Lawrence of Arabia and of course, The Master of Lies himself, Satan. I also noticed that the order of the books in incorrect. I have the sequence as follows, despite conflicting publishing dates:
1. Heroes in Hell 2. Gates of Hell 3. Kings in Hell 4. Rebels in Hell 5. Crusaders in Hell 6. Legions in Hell 7. Angels in Hell 8. Masters in Hell 9. The Little Helliad 10. War in Hell 11. Prophets in Hell 12. Explorers in Hell
Good stuff. I added The Little Helliad and changed the order around to as above with one exception: Rebels has a publication date of 1986 and Kings has a publication date of 1987, so I left those in the order of publication. Does that make sense? Fairsing 17:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
