Hell Can Wait When Hell finally goes digital, Maternus, a brutish Roman soldier stuck in Limbo for eighteen centuries waiting for someone to find his misplaced records, faces his judgment. His is brought before his afterlife bureaucrats, a demon and an angel, who devise a number of tests to determine if Maternus' future will be spent in Heaven or in Hell. The movie of his life reveals that he is capable of both brutality and friendship, relishing horror and appreciating beauty, living with lust and of loving a virtuous woman. It is obvious to the bureaucrats that Maternus must be given a chance to prove himself... but not back in Ancient Rome. No. They'll send him to present day Colorado. But without sword and shield, what’s a Roman soldier to do? Theodore Judson Judson grew up in western Wyoming. A graduate of the University of Wyoming, Judson has dedicated his life to teaching. He began writing after his wife’s death, publishing Tom Wedderburn’s Life (2002), Fitzpatrick’s War (2004), and The Martian General’s Daughter (2008). His short story The Sultan’s Emissary appeared in the anthology "Sideways in Crime". Theodore Judson currently lives in Wyoming, where he teaches high school History. Praise for the Works of Theodore Judson “...like Heinlein, Asimov and other great writers in the genre, Judson never lets his message get in the way of the story...” - Publishers Weekly, Fitzpatrick’s War (Daw Science Fiction) “What Judson has accomplished here is so much more than a simple Bat-Durston camouflage of ancient history. His future is so odd and skewed that his tale more resembles a work by Gene Wolfe or the unjustly forgotten Mark Geston….” - Sci Fi Weekly, The Martian General’s Daughter (Pyr) Hell Can Wait Hell Can Wait AVAILABLE MAY 1, 2010 Media Kit (Coming soon)
