Once the Chief Civil Engineer on a planet of sixteen billion people, Clempson finds himself on the world that collects the dregs of planets that have apocalypsed themselves out of existence. Although he just intended to find his thaumechanical mule (and maybe learn the secret to travel across the void), he gets pulled into a plot to slaughter millions, and undercut the foundations of what makes Hell, Hell.

Clempson Goes to Hell is a light-hearted knife to the vitals for that which a corrupt society holds dear. It explores the conundrum, If a sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology, then is a sufficiently double-crossing evil indistinguishable from good?
