While the characters are very much surface-level as far as depth, Smith does give the reader plenty to enjoy from his heroes/heroines, and even the antagonists. They dive for humanity’s survival, but at what cost? Meanwhile, the surface is even more of a danger zone as the creatures left behind from WW3 have begun mutating and pose more of a threat than ever before. What they do not expect is to uncover secrets that their fearless leader, Captain Jordan, has buried in order to keep his place of power.
When a distress beacon calls the divers to the surface, Michael leads his team from the safety of their home in the sky, into the throes of an electrical storm and the desolation that awaits them on the surface. Set a decade after the events of Book 1, we are introduced to the new Hell Diver Raptor Team and its commander, Michael Everheart. Though no prior knowledge is needed to enjoy Ghosts, it is nice to have some context as to how exactly we got to this point. Keeping with the post-apocalyptic theme that is right in Smith’s wheelhouse, we have the follow-up to his breakout hit ‘Hell Divers’, which was an Audible Editor’s Pick of 2016 and an Audible Best of 2016 Science Fiction.

I started reading his Extinction Cycle series a few years ago and it has been of great enjoyment to see how much his writing has improved since then.
Nicholas Sansbury Smith just continues to get better and better.
