Deliverance by Nicholas Sansbury Smith
4.0
Picking up hard on the heels of the last book, Hell Divers: Deliverance doesn’t waste much time before it plunges the characters into one dangerous situation after another.
For anyone who enjoyed the first two Hell Divers book, this is sure to provide another adrenaline rush. Like a roller coaster falling after it’s hit its tipping point, this was a mad rush of tension filled action with an ending that left me nodding my head in approval. And I don’t care one whit if any of it makes scientific sense, medical sense, technical sense or any other kind of sense. This is another one for the “guilty pleasures” shelf. I thought this was only going to be a trilogy but there appears to be a fourth book in the works and certain events in this installment definitely opened the door to more dangers. So, sign me up, X! I’m ready to go.

And if, like me, you missed the presence of Xavier “X” Rodriguez in the last book, you’ll be happy to discover that he’s all over this book. While we get the present-day adventures of Captain Michael Everheart and the rest of Team Raptor as they frantically search for X on the Earth’s wasteland – as well as the tyrannical shenanigans of the lying, murderous, megalomaniac otherwise known as that shitface Captain Jordan – readers are also given glimpses into the past to see just how X managed to survive a decade on the hostile surface.For anyone who enjoyed the first two Hell Divers book, this is sure to provide another adrenaline rush.
