Hellhole
Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson · 3 novels · 2011–2014
Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Hellhole trilogy follows the settlers of a harsh penal-colony planet who discover it hides a far stranger secret beneath its surface, even as a former general turned governor plots rebellion against the ruling Constellation. Hellhole: Awakening and Hellhole: Inferno escalate both the political revolt and the planet's own hidden nature. It's an original setting for the two authors, separate from their Dune continuation work.
