Part of Hell Divers, book 5

Xavier Rodriguez has spent his life diving from airships into hostile wastelands below. Now he and fellow Hell Diver Magnolia Katib have found the Metal Islands, where thousands of survivors fish and farm under sunny skies. This apparent sanctuary hides a brutal truth. The islands belong to el Pulpo, a cannibal king who rules through violence. For the first time, Xavier must surrender his weapons and submit to enemy control. Meanwhile, his people aboard the airships reel from discoveries at Red Sphere that revealed the real story behind World War III. The Hell Divers face one final war to save their species from extinction. Xavier finds himself pressed into service with the Cazador army, torn between survival and loyalty. The airship dwellers must decide whether to descend from the sky and fight for this new land. The fate of humanity hangs on whether Xavier can navigate his most dangerous mission yet.
