Book Description

Publication Date: 31 July 2012 | Series: Sandman Slim Novels (Book 3)

All hail Sandman Slim, author Richard Kadrey’s ultra-extreme anti-hero and recent escapee from Hell.

Legendary author William Gibson (Neuromancer) called Kadrey’s first deliciously twisted Slim adventure ‘an addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece’, and in number three, Aloha from Hell, the ruthless avenger, a.k.a. Stark, finds himself trapped in the middle of a war between Heaven and Hell.

With God on vacation, the Devil nosing around in Paradise, and an insane serial killer doing serious damage on Earth, Stark/Slim is ready to unleash some more adrenaline-surging, edgy and violent supernatural mayhem — and even pay another visit to Hell if necessary — which is great news for fans of Jim Butcher, Charlaine Harris, Kim Harrison, and Simon R. Green.

Review

Praise for Sandman Slim:

“The best B movie I’ve read in at least twenty years. An addictively satisfying, deeply amusing, dirty-ass masterpiece, Sandman Slim swerves hell-bent through our culture’s impacted gridlock of genres…it’s like watching Sergio Leone and Clive Barker co-direct from a script by Jim Thompson and S. Clay Wilson.” William Gibson

“If Simon R. Green wrote an episode of Dog the Bounty Hunter, it would read much like Sandman Slim – violent, vivid, non-stop action of the supernatural kind. I couldn’t put it down.” Charlaine Harris

“The most hard-boiled piece of supernatural fiction I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. … all confident and energetic and fresh and angry. I loved this book and all its screwed-up people.” Cory Doctorow, author of Little Brother

“Paced like greased lightning (watch out for friction burns on your turning finger), blend the movie-ish delights of tough guy noir and such smart-mouthgore-fests as “Reanimator” and “Army of Darkness”, seasoned by soupcons of Gaimanian romanticism and Koontzian sentiment.” Booklist

“Nicotine and octane in equal parts might come close to the high-energy buzz from Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim. Crisp world building, recognizable and fully-realized characters, and a refreshingly unique storytelling style make for an absorbing read. Sandman Slim is my kind of hero.” Kim Harrison

From the Back Cover

All is not as it should be in the City of Angels. God is missing, Lucifer is back in Heaven, and a psychopath has declared war against both Heaven and Hell.

It soon becomes clear that Stark must leave L.A. and head back downtown to his old stomping grounds in Hell if he’s to rescue his long lost love, thwart a deranged serial killer, prevent both Good and Evil from completely destroying each other, and stop the demonic Kissi from ruining the party for everyone.

Even for Sandman Slim, that’s a tall order. And it’s only the beginning.

3.0 out of 5 stars getting a bit samey 21 May 2013
By Malcolm Roy Ash
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great idea and I liked all the initial books but Im getting a bored with the one dimensional character. The violence is beginning to pall a bit because its just repetitive and the main characters are becoming superhero untouchables while everyone else is just a dweeb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sandman slim 3 13 May 2013
By Spankeh
Format:Kindle Edition
I normally read serious books.

This is not a serious book. It is, however, the most enjoyable literary palate cleanser I have come across all year. The first two are worth the money too - go buy them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Aloha from hell 7 April 2013
By mike
Format:Kindle Edition
Great book. Almost comic book in its way, and I mean no slight by that, it rolls on like a juggernaut on a promise. I hope Richard Kadrey is writing quickly, I'm catching up and don't want to hit the buffer.

Bravo

5.0 out of 5 stars dark humour, none stop action and spell binding 8 Mar 2013
By bart
Format:Kindle Edition
Sandman Slim is back for a third outing. However if you haven't already read the first two books in the series do so before you read this one. You will get confused if you don't

Stark is as ever the extremely violent, darkly humorous hero of epic proportions. The book starts with a lull in his violent life after the events in book two that's making him feel "stabby", and looking for violence. Which all too soon he finds in spades. A botched exorcism by an excommunicated priest leads him to the revelation that his arch nemesis Mason, who he finally killed condemning him to hell, is now leading hell in a preparation for war against heaven. Lucifer's apparently gone off back to heaven leaving a power vacuum Mason's been quick to fill. But Mason wants Stark and more importantly his key to the room in the centre of the universe so he's kidnapped Alice, Starks old true love and is holding her for ransom in Hell and if Stark wants her back he'll have to go to hell to fetch her.

So Stark has to sneak into Hell, a Human amongst demons, trigger an obvious trap, and save the girl. To start off with. Then all he's got to try and stop a war between heaven and hell that would mean the end of the world. To do that he has to rescue the only Hell's general who stood against Mason, however he was Killed in Hell and therefore sent to Tartarus, which is kind of a Hell below Hell where those already dead, who are then killed again go. Oh and of course no one has ever escaped from Tartarus, so its just another day in the life of Sandman Slim.

Along the way he meets God, well parts of him, apparently he had a mental break down and splintered into many parts, and some deites from the older religions as well.... Read more ›
