Part of Hell Divers, book 2
First published 2017
Michael Everheart commands Raptor Team aboard the airship Hive, where humanity survives by sending Hell Divers to scavenge the poisoned surface below. Once called Tin, Michael has grown into a seasoned leader under the iron rule of Captain Leon Jordan. The ship depends on these dangerous dives to stay airborne, but Jordan's harsh command breeds discontent among the lower decks, where whispers of an ancient prophecy spread hope through the corridors. When a strange distress signal reaches the Hive from the surface, Michael takes his team down to investigate. What they discover challenges everything they believed about their world and their mission. Jordan will kill to protect his secrets, but Michael's loyalty lies with his crew and the truth they've uncovered. Ten years have passed since Xavier Rodriguez fell to Earth and never returned. Now Michael faces a choice that could save humanity or destroy the only home they have left. In the sky above a dead world, trust becomes the most dangerous commodity of all.
