WELCOME TO HELL

 

The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerates most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid. 

 

Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perditions six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a constant battle, and death is the only escape.

 

Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dreds attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he doesn't betray her first. Unfortunately, that's what he does best. Winning Jaels allegiance will be a challenge, but failure could be worse than death…

FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

Review

Praise for the Sirantha Jax novels

“The world Ann Aguirre has created is a roller-coaster ride to remember.”—Christine Feehan, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Has all of the heart, soul, adventure, and sense of wonder that you could ask for.”—SF Site

“Ann Aguirre is an amazing storyteller.”—Smexy Books

Review

Praise for the Sirantha Jax series

 

“Fast-paced and thrilling…pure adrenaline.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Christine Feehan

 

“An irresistible blend of action and attitude.”—National Bestselling Author Sharon Shinn

Review

Praise for Perdition

 

“Definitely a must for fans of Aguirres Sirantha Jax series or Joss Whedons Firefly.”—Vampire Book Club

 

“Thought-provoking and gripping.”—The Book Pushers

“Aguirre revisits the classic idea of survival within an anarchic, violent society, offering protagonists whose moral gray contrasts with the stygian dark of those around them. Sirantha Jax fans may be intrigued to see what befell Jael after his ill-considered actions there, and new lead Dred is a strong linchpin for a promising new series.”—Publishers Weekly

Review

Praise for the Dred Chronicles:

"There's so much action, so much adventure, and more than that, it's great writing."—USA Today

"Sirantha Jax fans may be intrigued to see what befell Jael after his ill-considered actions there, and new lead Dred is a strong linchpin for a promising new series."—Publishers Weekly

"Spectacularly and spell-bindingly perfect with high octane action that keeps you on the edge of your seat and a romance that is surprisingly sweet and tender in a harsh and unforiving setting...This is honestly one of the best SF romance series I have read." —Book Pushers

Broke and unemployed, ?Jumper? Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government? only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspaceweakened body.

Synopsis

Broke and unemployed, aJumpera Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the governmenta only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspaceweakened body.

Synopsis

Regret nothing.

Sirantha Jax has the J-gene, which permits her to “jump” faster-than-light ships through grimspace. She loves nothing more than that rush, but the star roads have to wait…

Her final mission takes her to La’heng, a planet subjugated during first contact. Since then, the La’hengrin homeworld has been occupied by foreign conquerors.

All that’s about to change.

Now, as part of a grassroots resistance, Jax means to liberate the La’hengrin. But political intrigue and guerrilla warfare are new to her, and this will be the most dangerous game she’s ever played—spies and conspiracies, a war of weapons and hearts, and not everyone is guaranteed to make it out alive...

Synopsis

The Conglomerates most dangerous convicts have made the prison ship Perdition their home. And they will defend it…

 

Perdition is under siege. Mercenaries have boarded the station with orders to take control of the facility—and execute the prisoners. Their commander is offering full pardons to the first five inmates willing to help the mercs complete their mission.

 

Dresdemona “Dred” Devos hasnt survived hard time just to surrender to the Conglomerates armored thugs. Leading a ragtag army of inmates, Dred and her champion, Jael, wage a bloody guerilla war of chaos and carnage against impossible odds. But no matter how dire the outlook, the Dread Queen never backs down…

 

Synopsis

All hell is breaking loose in the edge-of-your-seat follow-up to Havoc and Perdition from New York Times bestselling author Ann Aguirre…

The prison ship Perdition has become a post-battle charnel house with only a handful of Dreds soldiers still standing and now being hunted by Silences trained tongueless assassins. Forging an uneasy alliance with mercenary commander Vost—who is their only chance at escape—the Dread Queen will do whatever it takes to end her life sentence on Perdition and keep the survivors alive long enough to cobble together a transport capable of getting them off station.

If Dred and her crew can win the deadly game of cat and mouse, the payoff is not only life but freedom—a prize sweeter than their wildest dreams. Yet the sadistic Silence would rather destroy Perdition than let a single soul slip from her grasp…
