"Exciting post-doomsday science fiction thriller"
Nuclear explosions have left much of the Earth devastated
and civilization on the brink of extinction. In this post-
apocalyptic realm, deadly scavengers seek fortunes anyway
they can in hopes of a better life. One such lethal
treasure seeker is Hell Kat who scrounges the ruins of
great societies in order to find loot worth selling;
accompanying her on her forays is her partner and
sometimes lover Damien. Hell Kat and Damien seek the Monmouth, a relic of the
ancients worth a fortune. However to obtain the valuable
technological device, they must enter Vanquished City,
home to numerous mutants born in radiation. Joining them
on their quest is her rival Hades, a man Kat secretly
desires, and their guide Darquiel, who frightens Kat
because her long time teammate Damien seems more loyal to
him than her. The quest begins that only can be
considered successful if they obtain the electronic gizmo,
sell it, and use the money to escape the dangerous outer
rim; the probability of success in each of the team
member's minds: zero. The cover looks more like comic book art, but for those
who believe that makes HELL KAT targeting children means
you have not read comic books in decades. The dark story
line is action-packed with an incredible descriptive
concrete and iron wasteland as seen through the eyes of
the four travelers. Besides learning the depth of the
nuclear holocaust, fans also understand the motives of
each of the prime players yet that never slows down the
pace; neither does the few sexual encounters that in fact
enhance the comprehension of morality. Vivi Anna paints a
nightmarish gory tale of a future hell on earth. Those
with strong stomachs will fully cherish and demand more
such post-doomsday science fiction thrillers. Harriet Klausner

SummaryHot As Hades...
Smart, sexy, and kick-ass brave, Kat has the fighting skills
of a warrior and a sexual appetite few men can
match—although most would happily die trying. But Kat
has bigger problems than choosing her latest
bedmate/plaything. She's caught in a post-apocalyptic world
where only the rich live well—and Kat is determined to
be one of them. To make her dream come true, the fearless
treasure hunter has to get her hands on a lot of money, and
that's going to take every bit of talent she's got, and then
some. With her devoted partner and lover Damian by her side,
Kat sets out to make one big score. The stakes are high and
they get even higher when she discovers her rival, Hades, is
after the same thing. Big, mean, and sexy as hell, he's just
the sort of man Kat loves to take to bed...and will...if he
can help her in her quest.
Now, two people whose fiery attraction grows more explosive
by the hour are joining forces in a dangerous game, and a
delicious discovery of the treasures that await them in the
dark...
