The World

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. The Earth below is a radioactive wasteland. The skies are treacherous with constant electrical storms. Most ships have already plummeted back to earth.

The Heroes

Aging and outdated, the only thing keeping the two surviving lifeboats in the sky are Hell Divers—brave men and women who risk their lives by skydiving to the surface to scavenge for parts the ships desperately need.

The average life expectancy for a Hell Diver is fifteen jumps.

Xavier "X" Rodriguez has survived ninety-six.

The Stakes

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.

The Series

From the blood-soaked surface to the Metal Islands, from cannibalistic Cazadores to deadly Sirens, the Hell Divers saga has captivated readers for 12 books (and counting). This is your chance to own the book that started it all in the most spectacular edition ever created.
