Publisher's summary

The New York Times and USA Today best-selling series

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In the skies, the Hive is falling apart, but Captain Jordan is more determined than ever to keep humanity in their outdated lifeboat.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.

Another awesome entry in a great series!

Captain Jordan of the Hive is treating humanity as his own personal play thing. You agree with him or you disappear. Just ask the last of the Hell Diver teams, left behind after they discovered and confronted him on some of his dark secrets. The Hive is struggling under his iron hold leaving us to wonder, without Divers how can humanity survive?

Meanwhile X, the most successful Hell Diver ever has lived on the surface with only Miles, his canine companion for company. He has barely survived for ten years after being left behind, assumed dead, an assumption Captain Jordan keeps going even though he knows differently. Rather than saving X he takes credit for the discoveries X finds as he roams the vast wastelands looking for a place to call home.

Not to be counted out, the last Hell Divers Team, also abandoned by Captain Jordan has taken flight in the Deliverance, a ship created after the Hive and more advanced. These Hell Divers are determined to find X and save the Hive from Captain Jordan, no matter the cost...

This story is full of action and thrills. The monsters scarier than ever and the challenges our heroes face larger than ever. But they are heroes through and through and they will do whatever it takes after all, they Dive so humanity survives.

If you’ve read the first two books this entry paints a bigger picture filling in some questions while revealing others yet to be answered, if you haven’t read them yet you’ll want to. This story is a must read adventure best when read from the beginning.

As always R.C. Bray does an amazing job narrating and bringing the characters to life, his voice the perfect one for a series like this one.

A Ghost from the Past

One of the best installments yet in the Helldivers series. This book continues after the failed mission at the Hilltop Colony. Follow the divers left behind as they continue in Xavier's footsteps. Trouble continues to brew on the Hive as Captain Jordan goes to any lengths to keep his secrets and maintain his command. The fate of humanity may rest in the hands of a ghost and his dog.

Deliverance Definitely Delivers!

This book in the Hell Divers Series is by far my most favorite. Although, that says a lot because each one of the preceding books in the series is incredibly great. By the time I started this book, the main characters were so well established that it was like picking up the newest adventures of old friends. Newer characters in this book are developed very well throughout, and the story does not feel like a repeat of the preceding books. I loved the intensity of the storyline and I found myself being caught up so many times while listening to this book. For example, at times my attention was drawn so much into the adventures of Michael and his team that I unwittingly paused my real-life actions just to focus on the story. This means that I may have left the water running in the kitchen sink without doing any dishes for a minute, or I may have stopped folding laundry in the middle of the living room--holding my breath until the intensity of the moment passed and I was able to regroup and get back to the tasks of everyday life. When a book can do that, you know it's a good one!

it's fine

not as strong as the others but it's fine. I was still entertained. 15 words.

Continuing the story.

This was great. Narration was incredible. Some characters have developed plot armor it seems. Spoiler? --> Still good, but against all odds the main characters keep coming out on top, despite the anyone can die at anytime vibe the past two books have had. Cant wait to continue to the 4th book though

One of the best series yet!

Love this series so far story line is amazing characters personalities truly show with R.C. Bray’s
Narrating skills this book has been one of my favorite books yet. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and lets you feel the characters anxiety,anger,sadness and happiness truly a masterpiece!

fun

start with first book, kinda of a standard post apoplectic story, but written very well and not as depressing as many are, thoroughly enjoyed the performance and listening

Won't Stop

Same awesome tale from and amazing author who changed how I feel about scifi and futuristic books great series I highly recommend it.

I need more stars to rate this

This book was as good as if not better than the previous two. A lot of story lines were concluded to a degree and it set up the pathway for the series to continue on a new journey. R.C. Bray completes this tale in a way reading it would never accomplish. I desperately hope and look forward to another book in this series.

action packed

i loved this book as much as the others. the story just keeps pulling you in and has you truly caring about the characters. i am moving immediately on to the next one. i wish this would be made into a netflix series. the narrator is still my favorite as well.
