Hell Divers, Nicholas Sansbury Smith

 

I had a few days to go until my Audible credit was available, so I looked at the books included with the membership this month and two Sci-Fi novels jumped out. 

The first Hell Divers set in a dystopian world where the last surviving humans live on airships that fly above a plant that’s a post nuclear wasteland. The air ships are old and are in constant need of spares. This is where our heroes the Hell Divers come in. Their job is to parachute to the surface in radiation suits and scavenge whatever they can to keep the airship running along the way they encounter sirens trying to tempt them to their doom.

I didn’t know anything about book going in to it, it was highly recommend to me by the audible algorithm so I went with it. It’s really well written and as it’s an older book you won’t be surprised to hear that it’s turned into a bit of a franchise with follow up books in a series. It’s nicely paced and doesn’t ask too much of the reader, some Sci-Fi books are science heavy and it makes them difficult to follow. Non of that here, the world is painted for you and you become invested in the characters. The only thing that could improve it would be some humour as I feel lots of teams in tense situations use it. 

It’s well recommended and worth a look, especially as it’s free on audible at the moment. If kindle is more your thing there’s a similar scheme where you can borrow books for a period.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
