The New York Times and USA Today best-selling series

Face the uncertain future without fear....

A year has passed since the Hell Divers defeated the machines at Kilimanjaro. The freed captives have settled into their new home at the Vanguard Islands, joining survivors from around the world. But extreme weather and failed crops have raised the specter of famine. Ships must push deeper into dangerous red zones, only to come back with less loot - and fewer soldiers.

When the Hell Divers discover a scroll on a raid, King Xavier is faced with a long-buried truth that threatens the future of his people and all of humanity. The Vanguard Islands are not the salvation the sky people thought them to be. To survive, they must venture through the Panama Canal and into the wastes beyond.

With the future at stake, the Immortal once again dons his armor. But there is a reason the great Cazador armies never returned from the canal, and this time not even the King of the Wastes is prepared for what awaits them.

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.

This story, along with the author, continues to grow and get stronger. Hell divers was my first taste of Nicholas and even though I do love his other works, this universe is my favorite by far, and hope it keeps growing.
Mr Bray keeps rocking it of course. Only heard one teensy-weensy goof, another than that, you nailed it.
Keep it up Nick and R.C., you're doing great. -Skwhirl

Xavier once again has to pull out a miracle to save his home! The introduction of new characters was welcome and adds even more depth to the story. The Panama Canal is no joke, but the King of the Wastes has plans! To new readers you won’t be disappointed and welcome. To veteran readers get ready to dive so humanity survives!

Awesome addition to the series!

You'd think after 7 books you'd start to see repetitiveness, filler or the irritating "haven't they done this before" issues? That's not happening here! The story just keeps expanding with character development, new enemies, new allies, creatures and plot line. Some characters were mentioned less in this book so others could get more attention which I think is a good thing. It's not just a story about X; everyone's story is getting attention and evolving. The story kept my attention so well that I was surprised when I head "Epilogue" because I was like "It's already been 14 hours?". Can't wait for book 9 and the rest afterwards. Narration was great obviously.

It just keeps getting better

Once again necklace Sansberry Smith takes you on a roller coaster of a ride! His superb writing doesn’t just draw you into the story but grabs you on and hold you tight! RC bray once again adds the perfect touch as the narrator of the book. These two are the real dynamic duo.

No other words but amazing

It speaks to the quality of an author when you identify so closely with the characters. I am so attached to these characters that I was yelling at my phone when the book ended.

I Loved this book.
