Dire: Hell

By: Andrew Seiple

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

Hell. The final destination for many a villain.

Brought to this infernal realm by villainous shenanigans, Doctor Dire still lives, and fights to free herself and her companions from eternal torment. But the odds are long, and she must struggle to glean resources, recruit Damned souls, and fend off demons and fallen angels. It's a one-way trip down, to find the center of Hell and pass out and back to Creation. But Hell's master may have other plans for Dire.

But she is Dire, and none shall stand in her way! It's fallen angels versus ascending supervillain, in a clash that shall change Hell for all eternity!

In hell you can't escape science, or Dire.

If you're fearing this series is going to go all insanely Christian on you, fear not. It doesn't. Yes they are in the Christian hell. Yes a character has a crisis of faith. Yes they rail at the injustice of it all. But... it's not about religion. If you hadn't noticed by now, Dire isn't about magic or magical thinking, or greater powers. Dire met a god once and was unimpressed. So no. Dire is about Science. Even in hell you can't escape science.

This book will be a hard act to follow.

Got sent to hell and kicked ass

I love this series. The writing, narration, drama, power ups and everything hits the mark perfectly. Please keep writing. I'm following everything you write.

Another excellent book!

I've really been enjoying the Dire Saga and Dire:Hell is an excellent addition to the saga! I'm excited to see what happens next, I'm going to need the author to make his own clone or AI to keep writing books since I'm enjoying so many of his series.

The best one

in an exceptional, excruciating, EPIC tale of DIRE!! Brutal? Absolutely!! Brilliant? You BET!! TOTAL WIN FOR AUTHOR AND READER. This installment is about Hell and therefore be warned:not for kids or the squeamish.

Daring to Take on Hell

Andrew Seiple has got to be one of the most imaginative authors around. Not too many authors would be brave enough to take on hell. While I will try not to give any spoilers beyond what reading the book synopsis would provide, you have been warned. I also assume you read the previous book. Who thinks of a way to send his characters to hell, have the book take place with scenes based on Dante's Inferno,, and then adds in a story line that makes it all make sense. Of course it also advances the Dire story-line. One has to love how no matter what happens (finding oneself in hell), Dire takes it in stride and then figures out a way to to get out. Like Andrew, Dire has no problem taking on hell as she goes through most of the circles to get to Lucifer Morningstar himself. Not the fun loving one from the TV show. Warning, it does take place in hell, and bad things happen in hell. I did find myself at times thinking, "this is kind of disturbing." It does not overly dwell on these elements and kind of makes it okay by having everything reform. This is truly impressive story telling.

One of my favorites after Book 1

While requiring a bit of suspension of disbelief, the premise of Dr. Dire in and friends in hell was an interesting story that felt strongly like a good LitRPG story, with plenty of leveling and city building. I would have given 5 stars except for the rushed exposition at the end that I had to listen to 3 times before I fully absorbed the information given. A very complex answer to the enigma that is Dr. Dire and her present stay in Hell was doled out in a not nearly long enough 10-15 minutes span that requires listeners to stop their activities and really pay attention to an important payoff 6 books in the making. Ultimately, I enjoyed this entry in the series nearly as much as Book 1.

great story!

excellent series with fabulous characters that kept me coming back for more. I got the first couple books free as part of my membership & I was hooked.

Just it’s over.

The only part I dislike is the fact it’s over. Hopefully not forever. But still. My heart breaks. I need more.

Another amazing story

Tabletop RPGs with demons, and no fucks to give Lucifer- Yep, I love Dire.

Good story

Hope there is another one after this. Went back to the good old days in the first few books. Look forward to the next story
