Publisher's Summary

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 Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago.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.

It's a movie.. for you ears!

Not going to sugar coat this and blab on, this book is freaking amazing. I'm throwing it in the some group as Matthew Reilly (Scarecrow series) and Pierce Brown (Red Rising trilogy). I love this Shite.

And R. C. Bray... killed it, his voice fit X and the story perfectly!

a story that will hook you without a doubt

great story that always keeps you guessing and each chapter leaves you wanting more. great voice over by rc bray I don't think I have found a better voice actor. once you start you will want to hook into all of them without a doubt it's a must read or a must listen. trust me you won't regret it

Found HD through R. C. Brays other performances and very glad I did. Super excited to continue the series to see what Nic has developed.

Like apocalyptic novels ?then this is your book.

The first of the Hell diver series is just what you want to begin .The struggles of life on a dying human race are very well described and there's always something happening.

Great listen

Loved it, thriving story can't wait to listen to the next book. Felt like I was diving with the hell divers or standing next to the captain, very detailed and epic with a slight bit of horror.

X marked the spot

It was a fast paced story that keep me engaged the whole way. Some pieces needed better explanation, and some just didn't make sense to me; minor flaws in an otherwise excellent story. RC was at his best bringing the story to life.
