Humanity has finally found a new home, but the price is blood ... After a long, perilous journey, Hell Divers Xavier Rodriguez and Magnolia Katib discover the Metal Islands, a sunny habitable zone where thousands of people live by fishing and farming. But this "paradise" is really a violent warrior society ruled by the cannibal king el Pulpo. For the first time in X's life, he is forced to lay down his arms and surrender. Back on the airships, the Hell Divers are recovering from a gruesome discovery at Red Sphere, where they learned the truth about World War III. Now they must fight one last war-this time for what remains of their own endangered species. As the battle approaches, alliances will be forged, and others broken. Forced to fight in the Cazador army, X faces his toughest mission yet. Will he help his people come down from the sky and claim the promised land, or will humanity go extinct?

Well that was rather abrupt but nice closure on the series. I know there is another book coming but for me this was the end of one story line and while it was satisfying, the end felt a bit rushed. It could have done with a bit more epilogue and some rebuilding. After having journeyed this long with Xavier, I would have liked a little more time with him and Miles catching up and re-discovering their lives. Maybe, there is a future for this. Lets see shall we.
I have sincerely enjoyed this series. If anything, it continues to improve with each consecutive book — no small accomplishment given that we're now five books into the series. Smith has developed a finely crafted postapocalyptic world filled with adventure.
