Left for dead on the nightmarish surface of the planet, Commander Michael Everhart and his team of Hell Divers barely escape with their lives aboard a new airship called Deliverance. They will dive, but will humanity survive? Read on only if you’ve read the other books. Warning: Contains spoilers from the other books. They dive so humanity survives… but will they survive the ultimate betrayal? When a mysterious distress signal calls the Hell Divers to the surface, Michael and his loyal team begin to uncover long-buried truths and the secrets Captain Jordan will do anything to keep. But unrest stirs under his strict leadership as a prophecy of hope sweeps the lower decks. While Michael dives to help keep the Hive in the air, Captain Leon Jordan rules with an iron fist at the helm of the ship. Michael Everheart - the boy once known as Tin - has grown into a man and the commander of Hell Diver Raptor Team. Those he left behind went on without him aboard the airship he once called home. Ten years ago, Hell Diver Xavier “X” Rodriguez fell to Earth. Now waiting anxiously for it to be released. Is this book as good as the first one? Hell yes! And I’ve already pre-ordered the third one. And the character’s grab hold of you and won’t let go. Suspense has you chewing your fingernails. Man, I hope they make these books into movies. And…what horrors waited below, on the surface. When disaster strikes the sister ship and a risky rescue is attempted, no one could have foreseen what was to come. They don’t have much of a life expectancy and recruits are always needed. It’s many years later and there’s some new divers in town. I got all silly, talking out loud to myself about how good this was going to be. But there’s something down there that’s far worse than the mutated creatures discovered on dives in the past-something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.Īfter the ending for the first book, which nearly killed me, I was clapping my hands in stupid glee when I read the beginning for this second book. When one of the two surviving airships is damaged in an electrical storm, a Hell Diver team is deployed to a hostile zone called Hades. Enter the Hell Divers-men and women who risk their lives by diving to the surface to scavenge for parts that keep their homes in the air. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to earth long ago. More than two centuries after World War III poisoned the planet, the final bastion of humanity lives on massive airships circling the globe in search for a habitable area to call home. While there, I went ahead and pre-ordered the third book. Say it isn’t so! I had to know what would happen next and rushed right over to grab the next book. While I try not too choose a favorite character so I can enjoy them all, one just wouldn’t stop popping into my head. And I used my imagination and several movies to visualize the story. Real life characters, danger and action leaping off the pages, and some nasty mutant creatures. This had everything I could have hoped for. If they make it to the surface without being fried by lightning, they have to worry about the mutant life forms that now call the planet theirs. From the moment they jump they have to worry about massive storms. They make dangerous dives to the planet to scour for anything that could be used to keep the ships afloat. The remains of humanity reside is large air ships that are slowly falling apart. The Earth is now scorched and uninhabitable. Genre: Science Fiction / Post Apocalyptic It’s actually two books from the Hell Divers Series by Nicholas Sansbury Smith. It’s a new year and it was an easy pick on which book would be my first review for 2018. Welcome to my Monday Minis where I share shorter reviews of books I’ve read.
