![]() ![]() The people are angry, supplies are running out and Hell Divers are in short supply. While on the Hive Captain Jordan is losing control over the ship. They are on a rescue mission that has zero chance of being a success but they have to hope for something and to prove to X that he was not left behind by everyone. ![]() Team Raptor has been left behind on Earth by the Hive but they were able to find a new ship Deliverance to help take them to the last coordinates that Xavier “X” Rodriguez had given and hope that he is still alive after all these years. Nicholas Sansbury Smith is back with his killer Hell divers series and this time the divers are spending more time on Earth than ever before: This review will contain SPOILERS for both of those books and you really don’t want to do that to yourself, so just stop reading this now and start at the beginning of the series. They are both fantastic reads that you will not want to put down. If you have not read the first two book (Hell Divers & Hell Divers: Ghosts) in the series, stop right now and go order them. If you have yet to jump into his post-apocalyptic fiction, the series tends to be fairly cheap on Kindle and they are a very fun way to pass the time. Overall, if you have been a fan of Smith’s over the years, there is plenty to love here in Deliverance. ![]() With cities known to the readers but unknown to all of those involved in the story, it is an interesting perspective on what we know and love. On top of all that, the alternate United States of American that Smith has created is an extremely enjoyable sandbox for his characters to play in. To just have a seething hatred for an antagonist and be ecstatic when they meet their fate. He has also created a few characters that you just love to hate, and I find that seemingly rare in books today. Just when I thought that the only threat to the survival of the Divers and people of the Hive were the Sirens, Smith brings in new and improved baddies to delight fans of immense creature horror. While on the surface it seems to be a run-of-the-mill post-apoc story with mutant creatures and pow-pow, bang-bang shooty guys, Smith pushes the envelope with redeemable characters, political intrigue, non-stop action, and an ever expanding storyline. Smith packs a ton of punch into these books, which honestly makes them some of the quickest and most enjoyable reads in today’s post-apocalyptic/science fiction scene. So, it has been a hot minute since I read Ghosts (Hell Divers #2), and I am not really sure why I waited so long to get to Deliverance. ![]() Receiving this ARC did not influence my thoughts or opinions on the novel. Thanks to the publisher and author for an advanced reading copy of Deliverance (Hell Divers #3) in exchange for an honest review. But what they find will change everything. In the third installment of the USA Today bestselling Hell Divers series, Michael and his fellow divers fight across the mutated landscape in search of X. 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. He will do whatever it takes to keep the ship in the air-even murder. In the skies, the Hive is falling apart, but Captain Jordan is more determined than ever to keep humanity in their outdated lifeboat. After learning that Xavier “X” Rodriguez may still be alive, they mount a rescue mission for the long-lost hero. IGN gave it a 9/10, saying it "isn’t the prettiest game you can play on PS4, PS3 or Vita, but Helldivers is one of the most exhilarating, and you’ll get all three versions for the price of one."Ĭheck out everything that was announced and showed at the PlayStation Showcase right here.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. Helldivers was largely well received, with reviewers and fans particularly praising the co-op action. "Team up with up to four friends and wreak havoc on the alien scourge that threatens the safety of your home, Super Earth. "You’ll step into the boots of an elite class of soldiers whose mission is to spread peace, liberty, and Managed Democracy using the biggest, baddest, and most explosive tools in the galaxy," said today's Helldivers 2 blog post. It immediately drew comparisons to Starship Troopers, the 1959 novel of the same name and 1997 Paul Verhoeven film adaptation, even opening with something of an homage to the latter with a propaganda video. Helldivers took place in what's called "Super Earth," and the player acts as a citizen that joins a commando team tasked with fighting aliens in various biomes. ![]()
