I eagerly got Ally Blue’s second book in her Hellscape series but then realized how little I remembered of the first book a year ago. I re-read my review so I would have some idea of who the characters were though I remembered the concept surprisingly well. I commented in my review of the first book that I would love to see books about the secondary characters such as Sandman. Well apparently I got my wish because the second book is all about Sandman, a character I literally did not (and still don’t) remember from the first book. That didn’t really phase me and the second book in the series is actually much stronger than the first. It also can easily be read as a stand alone, a fact that I am extremely grateful for as I was not going to re-read the first one. So dystopian fans - check this one out, it’s really good and can be read on its own.
Sandman was once a Gutter, an orphan left to fend for himself with one eye among the gangs of children on Hell’s End. However, once they get too old the teenagers are chased out by the rest of the gang if not outright killed and eaten. It’s a savage, vicious cycle and one Sandman ruled himself. Knowing his time is about up though he bribes his way onto a passenger ship for Mars, thinking to start a new life for himself. However before he can even leave the ship, he’s caught up in a terrorist plot and earns himself a one-way ticket to a lifetime imprisonment on Earth. Politics, intrigue, and bad navigation have him and fellow passenger Vijay as the sole survivors crash landing on Earth. Now they must rely on each other to figure out what is going on and whom they can trust.
The world building is the same as the first book, although there are only references made to Hell’s End. Instead there are entirely new worlds introduced, Mars and Earth, that connect to Hell’s End but are entirely separate entities. This helps for new readers and any, like me, that don’t remember all the details of Hell’s End. It’s not really important to have read the first book as any additional information is offered here. The plot can be somewhat convoluted at times and not altogether logical. I didn’t really mind though because some of the corners the plot got into would have been nearly impossible to get out of in a rational manner so some hand waving had to happen. The high level of action and near non-stop tension helps smooth over these hiccups in a really satisfying way. I’m usually a stickler for such things but honestly it never bothered me. There is really too much going on for most readers to keep close track of details so I don’t think most will mind.
Additionally what makes this particular story better than the previous book in the series is that the main couple, Sandman and Vijay, has real chemistry. Unlike the other couple that I struggle to connect to, I was rooting for them from the very beginning. Sandman is an extremely engaging narrator and I quite frankly loved almost everything about him. He’s complex and difficult and likely aggravating and annoying to everyone around him but he’s such a good character that I adored him almost instantly. His real passion and chemistry with Vijay helped bring their relationship much needed weight and depth. Vijay is less charming but he holds his own as both a narrator and character. The two men alternate third person narrator and it works very well for the story. Their individual flaws, fears, and strengths shine through with stark contrast and interest.
If there are any flaws it’s definitely in the plot. There is so much going on and the ending is really tacked on. The tension and action is high and non-stop for the entire novel, only to have the most difficult part take place off page with a pseudo-epilogue to show everyone lives happily ever after. I wanted to know so much more and felt as though this wrap up was too easy and hand waving. They were facing one of the most difficult fights for control and oh months later, all’s great! Getting into all that detail would have necessitated another book so I understand the desire to wrap up this one in a happy ending but it did leave me wanting. Though once again there are so many good supporting characters that I simply enjoy reading about this world. The characters are rich and the plots, while convoluted and not entirely logical, are entertaining and interesting. I’m more than willing to suspend disbelief for this series and I hope there are more to come. This is a book I’d read again and I think dystopian fans will enjoy the entire series, no matter which book they start with.

Hell on Earth is book two of the Hellscape series by talented author Ally Blue. In this story, we follow Sandman from Book One. He escapes from Hell’s End, wanting to start a new life on Mars. Unfortunately for him, his temper and knack for getting himself stuck right in the thick of trouble cuts his trip short. No sooner does he dig his fingers into the soil and take a sniff of fresh grass than he’s captured, sentenced for a crime he didn’t commit, and is exiled to one of the moons around Mars…or so he thinks.
When three Martian soldiers attempt to help Sandman and two other “criminals” escape their fate, their futures take an unexpected turn. Landing on Earth, they are faced with a barren land with acid rain, which actually burns the skin, and soil which wouldn’t be fit for growing weeds. He and the lone other survivor of their ship’s crash meet a group of renegades who fight against the experimentation and slavery of the Earth colony, called the Farm, designed to house the criminals sent to other destinations.
That’s about all I can really say without giving away any spoilers. And all of this happens within the first few chapters.
True to form, Ms. Blue has developed a rich world filled with its own rules and cultural practices. The landscape, language, and even the description of the various rooms draw the reader into the environment, unique and utterly creative, mixing sci-fi fantacism with believable human behaviors and emotions.
The love between Sandman and Vijay evolves slowly over the course of the book; Sandman’s cement exterior slowly chipping away as the story unfolds. While both men have reason to keep their guard up, each realizes they need the other to survive. And as the story progresses, they (and the reader) learn that they need each other in order to be whole and happy. This tension between their experiences which have given them every reason not to trust others, and the inexplicable connection which ignites like kindling on fire, draws the reader in, forcing us to root for our protagonists to find their way to each other.
And there’s a rich cast of secondary characters, each fully developed and adding to the natural flow of the story. Just like in her Bay City Paranormal Investigation series, where there were a ton of other characters who we come to love, Hell on Earth also exposes us to a wide range of people who we come to love as the story unfolds.
Of course, there are a fair share of villains too, and Ms. Blue gives them their just endings with her telltale gruesome justice.
The pace of the action was fast. Ms. Blue doesn’t allow much time for readers to catch their breath before Sandman and Vijay find themselves in another dangerous situation, yet they do manage to find time to explore their physical and emotional connection in satisfying ways without interrupting the tight action plot line.
All in all, this is yet another book by Ms. Blue that is a must read. And if you haven’t read Hell’s End, you’ll want to in order to understand Sandman and all that he’d experienced prior to meeting him in Hell on Earth.

Oops, I finished this story over a week ago and forgot to review!
What a wild ride! As much as I love the first book in the Hellscape series, this one surpassed Hell's End, and stars a secondary character from that book. Of course, I fell in love with Sandman from the moment I met him, so jumped at a chance to find out more about him and where he ended up.
Sandman has been dealt a bad hand in life. Period. Yet the scratching and clawing he had to do to survive has made him one tough Gutter. He'll need every bit of that toughness to stay alive on the scary version of Earth Ms. Blue describes in such vivid details. It's a horrid, ominous place, with danger at every turn. The first page to the last is loaded with pulse-pounding danger and action.
Then there's Vijay, a good guy taken advantage of and now paying the price for trusting the wrong folks. He's older, more experienced in worlds other than the space station where Sandman grew up, but sometimes all the experience in the world doesn't make up for knowing how to wield a knife and turn off emotions for the sake of doing what needs doing. He and Sandman make a great team. And if they find distraction, and even comfort, in each others' bodies? It's all good. But they didn't expect survival dependance to turn into something more.
You're not going to get hearts and roses romance here (though there is some sweet tenderness), as I'm sure you gathered from the cover and blurb. What you will get is a riveting sci-fi, where the main characters are two men, and the two men learn to trust each other with their lives, and later, their hearts.
This is the kind of sci-fi I grew up reading, and can't get enough of. Glorious world-building, three dimensional, complex characters, both main and secondary, and a plot that grabs you by the throat and won't let go, all skillfully woven together.
While it's part of a series, Hell on Earth can be read as a standalone, but it's better for having an idea of Sandman's background.
While there are no cliffhangers, enough loose ends exist to leave me hoping for a Hellscape 3.
Highly recommended.

A Joyfully Jay review.
5 stars
Once again, author Ally Blue shows us her immense talent at creating alternative worlds and inhabiting them with the most fascinating people. Sandman is back and larger than life. Vulnerable and angry, he is forced to rely on something other than his own wits to survive and finds himself drawn irresistibly to Vijay. Vijay, himself, is a product of a now barren past life where all he loved and knew had been destroyed. He carries the pain of seeing those he loved burned alive and finds himself caring for Sandman despite the younger man’s prickly nature. These two are surrounded by a secondary cast that are not only fascinating characters themselves, but whose stories are sure to make fodder for another novel should author Ally Blue wish to extend this series.

If I were judging this against mainstream sci-fi, this book would earn about two stars. Since I'm basically comparing it to other romance titles, I'll assign it a solid 3 stars. I would have liked a lot more sci-fi and world building.

Hell on Earth by Ally Blue focuses on one of the characters from the initial novel in this series, Hell’s End. Sandman has finally escaped Level 36 and is headed to Mars. One of the few planets that boast fresh air and sunshine, Sandman realizes too late that the ship he is on has actually been commandeered by the rebellion forces on Mars to explode upon arrival. Thinking he is helping land the saboteurs in jail, Sandman turns them in only to find himself brought up on trumped up charges and exiled to another planet that houses “lifer”, those destined for a lifetime of imprisonment. However, upon boarding the prison transport ship, Sandman is told that most, if not all such ships never reached their destination but were instead rerouted to some unknown destination. His job would be to find out why and where prisoners were being taken to and report back to the rebellion.
Along with Sandman is the captain of the initial ship Sandman rescued from the hands of the rebellion. Vijay has also been sentenced to life imprisonment and is now part of the team with Sandman who must discover the secrets to the missing transports. However, before either man can figure out where they are to land, the ship crashes into the icy waters of Earth, a plane long since being thought uninhabitable. Here the two stumble upon an elaborate governmental system that uses both natives and those who survive the transports crash landings for horrific experimentation. Someone is building a super race of soldiers and Vijay and sandman are being hunted for just that purpose. Hiding out with other survivors who have been attempting to infiltrate the system, Sandman is captured while in pursuit of an informer. Now Vijay and a few others must find a way to get him back before he is either killed or altered irreparably.
My short synopsis hardly does this amazing story justice. Once again, author Ally Blue shows us her immense talent at creating alternative worlds and inhabiting them with the most fascinating people.

The real talent of this author lay in the way in which she is able to shape a world that not only seems so foreign and exciting but also has its roots in the familiar. We are drawn to this world expressly because of the three dimensional people she creates to inhabit it. I was so struck by the tenderness that Ally Blue created between Vijay and Sandman. I watched with amazement as she slowly broke down the walls that Sandman had built around himself and slowly allow Vijay in to love him and care for him. The author uses this brash, cocky young man who hides such incredible fear and anger to show her readers that love can change a person, free them and allow them to embrace happiness for the first time.

Rating: 5+
The quest for power is the delusions of grandeur on a path of destruction. Freedom is the illusion that masked the corruption. Sandman and Vijay are forced to live with the political deceit, but still have aspirations for true freedom. Reality’s motto for Sandman and Vijay, as well as for others like them, is only the survival of the strongest can hope for an enduring future.
Hell On Earth is the second book in the Hellscape series. The plot is an in-depth account of life on colonized planets centuries after Earth was destroyed. Though the location is different, the same method of governing the masses of people is the same as Earth’s current government system with a few added horrors.
Sandman is a gutter, the term used for Hell’s End orphans who will do anything to survive, even turn on each other if someone feels they are a threat to the rest of the group. Sandman is intelligent, strong, fast as well as extremely capable with a knife. He can kill without hesitation. Escaping to Mars is the first time Sandman was able to sit outside in the sun.
Vijay moved to Mars after his large family died under suspicious circumstances, covered up by the government. Vijay’s skills are in the highly technical category.
Ally Blue has created an exceedingly riveting as well as a very enjoyable saga that goes beyond outstanding. The storyline compels the readers to look at the cruelties vividly illustrated and see Earth’s sadistic potential for the future. In addition to the political nightmares, there is a scorching intimacy scene that establishes Sandman and Vijay’s capacity to express love for each other even during the worst of conditions imaginable.

I admit that I read this one only because I liked the first one in this series but then I ended up liking this one a bit more than the first. Sandman was an intriguing character in the first book and I liked getting to know him more through Vijay. Amazing how two people with tragic pasts can be drawn toward each other even when they're thrown unexpectedly together and are ironically responsible for each's situation. Some elements of the plot were longer than they should've been but that turned out kinda nice and then some other parts wrapped up faster than I thought they would. There was a nice ending too.
