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 Aging and outdated, most of the ships plummeted back to Earth long ago.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

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

"Hell Divers #1" was even better (based on all the great reviews I read prior) than expected. An absolutely amazing thrill ride, start to finish, with well developed, multidimensional, realistic characters.

I was familiar with Sansbury Smith's work from his "Extinction Horizon" (Zombie) series, and went through them, one after the other, till I had to wait for his newest release, and preordered that one.

This book had it all. . . mystery, suspense, nonstop thrills, and horror all perfectly mixed in. I did not read the synopsis for book #2 for until I finished this one, so was surprised by the ending, and thought it was perfect!

Looking forward to moving onto book #2 in this series soon, and cannot recommend Mr. Sansbury Smith's work highly enough. He is definitely not a one hit wonder, and is (quite honestly) just terrifically talented, and gets what readers/listeners seek in thriller/horror books.

It goes without saying that narrator R.C. Bray is phenomenal. Whenever I see his name listed as the person narrating I know the listening experience will be well beyond expectations! :)

Nothing surprising about this book. If you listen a lot then you know how it is when your minds drifts for a couple of minutes, and you have to rewind to make sure nothing was missed. Well, I didn't have to rewind while listening to this book. Not because my mind didn't drift, but because I knew there was nothing to worry about.
True "airport fiction".

this book was great it was just like watching Walking Dead except that the zombies in this book don't convert you to zombies they just die the difference with them is that they are ferocious I like it much better when the zombies can fight this would be a great TV series

better than Walking Dead

Honestly, I bought this because it was on sale (I actually got the whole series, so I am glad I liked the first one) and sounded interesting. This book begins the Hell Divers series and is set on earth after a nuclear holocaust and with the last of humanity trying to survive in old warships held aloft by helium. Hell Divers sky dive down to earth to retrieve supplies to keep the floating warships alive and this book introduces the series and main characters. I don't want to spoil the book, so I will leave my review with the following:
- The book is well paced and keeps the reader wondering what the next step in the story will be.
- Good character development
- Believable story line and the end of first book closes the current chapter but leaves enough loose ends to keep you coming back,
I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Nice beginning to a series

I don't know if it's because of the current pandemic we all are facing, but this book resonates with me as it gives us a grim and yet a realistic view of what can happen.

Creative

The entire story was very original unlike anything I have ever heard. If you enjoy apocalypse styled books this is definitely a good one!

Great Scifi story

Firstly, the performance of the book was great! Secondly, the story is gripping making you feel all the amotions that characters have and go along with the characters as they go through difficult situations they face. I 'm not a fan of science fiction, but this one I would definitely recommend!
