A single spark has ignited the dry tinder of decades-long saber-rattling into the full-fledged inferno of the Hellfire Crisis, embroiling an entire region into the war between infernal Cheliax and its former holding of Andoran. Dispatches from each front reveal the past and present of the war, along with how the right group of heroes might shape the future of the conflict. From the front line to back-room intrigue and from grim reality to fantastical struggles, these dispatches cover the full range of the Hellfire Crisis.
In addition to news of the war and fronts where heroes might win important victories, this 128-page setting sourcebook provides new options for factions involved in the war. The Eagle Knights loyal to Andoran and the Hellknights divided by Cheliax’s wartime demands were there when the first blows were struck. Others were pulled in as the crisis spread into their homes, from shadowy Nidal to the halls of power in Absalom and from the already-bloody forests of Nirmathas to settlements beneath the Inner Sea.
Pathfinder Lost Omens Hellfire Dispatches is an invaluable resource for any player or Game Master operating within the Hellfire Crisis event, including:
A comprehensive overview of the war’s timeline and effects throughout the Lost Omens campaign setting told through first-person accounts from every front of the conflict.
A gazetteer of prominent NPCs and plot hooks in each of the conflict’s primary fronts, from the Arch of Aroden to Absalom, and from shadowy Nidal to the waters of the Inner Sea itself.
Ten archetypes, including three freedom-loving Eagle Knight options, the law-bound Hellknight, Starstone aspirant, and more!
New character options for members of all classes and themes.
More than a dozen new troops to challenge parties on all sides of the conflict, a perfect complement to the skirmish rules presented in Pathfinder Battlecry!
Whether you’re fighting the battles of the Hellfire Crisis in the Hellbreakers or Hell’s Destiny Adventure Paths, assisting the Pathfinder Society as it navigates the continent-spanning war in the Pathfinder Society Organized Play campaign, or running your own exciting war-based adventure, Pathfinder Lost Omens Hellfire Dispatches has everything you need to bring the Pathfinder setting’s largest conflict to your table!

Options for ALL classes? If they really mean all, that's exciting- I'd love to see what kind of Thaumaturge or Kinetecist or Investigator options would be in a book like this.

I really doubt that is what that means. More likely options that all classes can take.
Looks like it will function how the Drift Crisis worked around in the Starfinder setting. I'm hoping this pairs well with the existing APs, and the future releases in that case.

It's not as hard as it might seem. There's plenty of precedent for class feats in Lost Omens books that can be taken by multiple classes. I think Kineticist is the only class that would need them to create unique feats. Other classess could get feats they share between each other.
But they could also mean the 16 core classes. That's boring and I hope that's not the case, but possible, I admit.

I can't wait to get my hands on this. My group is currently running through a home-brew "Remaster" of the Hell's Vengeance AP and this already has me chomping at the bit.
Not to mention, the teasing of another paired AP set. The only thing I find difficult is deciding whether or not I tease them with the names of the new APs coming out.

I think this book would be the perfect opportunity to showcase some new Devils! I've always been very interested to see Paizo's official take on Wayfinder's Hellforge Devil, Addiction Devil, Physician Devil, Rumor Devil, and Seduction Devil! ^^

Easy thing to check is if there are any shared authors between this and Wayfinder #11 from 2014, since I don't think Paizo would use somebody's fan work without involving them or crediting. It doesn't look like there are any shared authors, so probably not those specific devils.

That's ok. There's always next time...after all...

The devil is in the details...
