Review: Deliverance (Hell Divers #3) by Nicholas Sansbury Smith

March 27, 2024 by C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead) Leave a Comment

Rating: 9.5/10

Synopsis

They will dive, but will humanity survive?

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. After learning that Xavier “X” Rodriguez may still be alive, they mount a rescue mission for the long-lost hero.

In the skies, the Hive is falling apart, but Captain Jordan is more determined than ever to keep humanity in their outdated lifeboat. He will do whatever it takes to keep the ship in the air – even murder. But when he learns the Hell Divers he exiled have found Deliverance, he changes course for a new mission – find the divers, kill them, and make their new ship his own.

In the third installment of the Hell Divers series, Michael and his fellow divers fight across the mutated landscape in search of X. But what they find will change everything.

Review

Continuing with audio for these, as R.C. Bray is fantastic for these. 

Book three takes off right where two ended, with more and more of X’s hellish background revealed as he survived on post apocalyptic earth for years. Now I had meant to go back and read the new ‘prequel’ novella that features X on the surface, but I haven’t gotten to it yet, so this background was nice to have sprinkled in. 

Michael ‘Tin’ Everhart and his crew are still aboard Deliverance in their whiplash-quick race to meet up with X. Captain Jordan, in his ever-growing paranoia and recklessness, pushing the lower deckers even further towards rebellion—all in the name of ensuring humanity survives. When every single character and situation is at the boiling point, something (more like everything) is bound to pop off!

These are just outrageously fast paced scifi/horror thrillers. Nonstop action, suspense, and violence. And I for one, can’t get enough of them. I’ve been spacing out when I move through them, having read book one in 2022, but I might honestly have to aggressively accelerate that…even at the detriment of my audible credits.

The author still manages to show readers even more devastation, with new mutated trees, writhing limbs, animals, hand-sized cockroaches, and even cannibal survivors. In this post apocalyptic nuclear hellscape both and flora and fauna are out to get the hell divers.

About C. J. Daley (CJDsCurrentRead)

I was an avid player of Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Lord of the Rings Edition. When the millions turned out to be fake, and answering that ‘Athelas’ was another name for ‘Kingsfoil‘ grew tiresome, I retired. Now I'm a horror author and an avid reader of all things sci-fi/fantasy/horror/mystery.
