Hell to Pay
ByPublisher Description
The Actionary: To Be or Not To Be?
The epic conclusion to the brilliant To Hell and Back series – a trilogy that does for autism what Flowers for Algernon did for intellectual disability
Being a crime-fighting superhero with a demon sidekick is not as much fun as Chesney Arnstruther thought it would be. Nor is having his autism “healed” by the historical Jesus.
To make things worse, he’s zeroing in on the metaphysical truths behind the notion that reality is a book constantly being rewritten by a deity exploring the nature of good and evil. Satan and the Messiah are holed up in Eden writing fresh chapters, and Chesney’s quest takes him to ancient Babylon and Rome, and into a deep-past encounter with a tribe of God-worshipping dinosaurs.
It all leads Chesney toward a choice that no superhero should have to make…

“I have to say I was disappointed in this final installment of this series. There was more action in this than the previous, and a little more craziness - but while I was invested enough to read through and figure out what was going on, I didn't find it nearly as fun or entertaining. The first book read a little like a toy-train wreck, seeing what chaos might ensue while remaining firmly in the world of fantasy. But I feel like the author at last identified too much with the indifferent supreme being who was the cause of all this strife. As though he weren't sure himself what he wanted and kept writing to see what happened next. I felt like the ending was a real cop-out, and that is just too bad for something which started so imaginitively.”
