Hercules: The Legendary Journeys: Storming Paradise

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys: Storming Paradise #1

by Rik Hoskin

It is the street party to end all street parties. But, as dawn arrives, the street disappears . . . its revelers never to be seen again.

Cursed by the gods of Olympus to a lifetime of servitude in the Tartarus Pits, Campe is consumed with plotting her revenge. Ensnaring the greatest warriors in Greek history in her supernatural trap, Campe launches an all-out attack to destroy Olympus.

Hercules and Iolaus can’t resist a celebration, and are soon ensnared in the street’s trap. Will they be able to free themselves in time to stop Campe or will they be trapped forever?

Based on the hit television series created by Christian Williams, Storming Paradise continues the legendary journeys of Hercules—a hero who possesses a strength the world has never seen . . . a strength surpassed only by the power of his heart.

This is definitely the best of the HTLJ novels. It feels more or less like an episode of the TV series.

I discovered it quite by accident. It was published in 2015 only as an ebook. I’d be interested to learn more about how it came about and whether Universal plans to continue the series in some way.

Rik Hoskin does an excellent job at capturing the feel of the television series, especially the jokes and Hercules' also most charicatured 'straight' personality. But he also uses the advantage of a novel to have Hercules perform mighty super-strong feats which would be expensive, even for television.
A fast moving and easy read.
