The Hurtle of Hell
What you need to know before your trail
When gay, pleasure-seeking Stefano Cartwright is almost killed by a wave while at the beach, his journey up a tunnel of light convinces him that God exists after all, and he may need to change his ways if he is not to end up in hell. When God happens to look down his celestial telescope and see Stefano, he is obliged to pay unprecedented attention to an obscure planet in a distant galaxy, and ends up on the greatest adventure of his multi-eon existence.

The Canary Islands are a Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa. The landscape, which is evoked in this novel, is made up of rugged volcanic isles known for their black- and white-sand beaches. Tenerife is the largest island, and is known for its active volcano Mt. Teide, IF you climb to the top, there’s an astronomical observatory so you could read the book there are see the islands from a new light!
“The holiday on this strange little volcanic island had been Adam’s idea. They had started on the opposite coast, under a blanket of cloud. There were no beaches on that side, and the bad weather seemed so permanent that it was even cloudy in the postcards.”
“As the outermost part of the archipelago, the island had been celebrated in ancient times as the edge of the known world.”
