Wings of Hell is a science fiction novel by American writers David Sherman and Dan Cragg; it was released on December 30, 2008.
Soon, reports come from the newly established colony world of Haulover - the Skinks have invaded the planet in full force, with spaceships, aircraft, and massive anti-air cannons with seemingly infinite range.
As all this goes on, a political crisis in the Confederation develops and is abated, as pro-Armed Forces president Chang-Sturdevant manages to get reelected despite the opposition's underhanded manouvers.
Andy Whitaker from SFCrowsnest affirmed that on the whole he was disappointed with the book, which had "close to the worst aliens I've come across"; he also claimed that reading it was "a bit of a chore".
[2] Publishers Weekly claimed, however, that the novel is "rousing", and that there were some "intriguing interstellar parallels to the Pacific campaigns of WWII".
