Hell is Empty: A Censored City Novelette Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 4 ratings

WHEN TRUTH IS MADE BY THOSE IN POWER, EVEN EXPOSING THE LIES MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH

In the near future, the Librarian algorithm imposes tailored censorship to protect citizens from ideas that could inflict trauma or incite crime.

Journalist Deanna Myers has been chasing the censorship debacle right from the start and she's closing in, if only someone would run the story! The more she digs, the more she realises how pervasive the corruption is. But Ganelon Corporation isn't pulling any punches. She will have to rely on her sources to save not just her career, but her life.

Hell is Empty is the third novelette in the Censored City series: a post-analog world on the tipping point of Orwellian dystopia and the women whose choices will determine which way it falls.

    Seamlessly following on from the first two parts, Hell is Empty keeps you on the edge of your seat. Action filled, and so cleverly written you can almost smell the places.
