2016 Editor's Pick

2016 Audible's Best in Science Fiction

The New York Times and USA Today best-selling series

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 of a habitable area to call home. Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago. The only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers - men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

When one of the remaining airships is damaged in an electrical storm, a Hell Diver team is deployed to a hostile zone called Hades. But there's something down there far worse than the mutated creatures discovered on dives in the past - something that threatens the fragile future of humanity.

Bloody fantastic 👏

What a ride, this has me hooked. Vividly realized, mind blowing content. Has me on the edge of my seat! Glad I took a chance on this series.
You probably will be too.
For a solo voice actor, bravo.

I enjoyed it!

I find a books that put humanity down a peg on the worldly domination scale can be refreshing. This book kept me engaged and wanting more.

If you're a real skydiver, you will need to suspend your belief, a lot, for this tale.

RC Bray did a fine job of reading the story. I just had too much trouble suspending my belief to really get into it.

if your going to write about skydiving related things, maybe check with a current jumper or two. Capwells have been ancient history since the early 80's. Some of the canopy related segments were ok, until some glaring bit threw me out of the story. Just choices of words and descriptions of actions in freefall, under canopy and actions on landing messed up the story.

Also had issues with the "boosters" and the whole recovery process. Balloons don't work that way......

I wanted to enjoy the story, and was look forward to a new series to listen too, but, it was a struggle to get through this one.

not what I expected

I've been playing helldivers 2 and I was running under the obvious assumption and let me tell you I was pleasantly disappointed and then absolutely enthralled I have the whole series now 😁

Pretty solid

Doomed to forever find power cells and pressure valves. Someone please tell the author other things can also be needed sometimes.

Otherwise not a bad audiobook.

I put this book off for far too long.
I had an extra credit and thought I’d give it a shot. And oh boy am I happy I did!!
