A Review of Rhino: The Rise of a Warrior: A Hell Divers Novel
Rhino: The Rise of a Warrior: A Hell Divers Novel is the story of Nick Baker and how he started off with his birth in a hidden bunker and growing up there as a scrawny little boy with a wish to be a Ranger. After his community was raided by the Cazadores his journey continues from being a prisoner to one of the Cazadores warriors. I enjoyed reading this book and learning all about Rhino’s journey. This book is full of action and adventure. It is a great story of how one can grow and find a way to survive in the worst of times. Rhino’s story is one of inspiration and triumph.

SYNOPSIS
Over two centuries have passed since the Third World War reduced civilization to ashes in a global nuclear inferno. Unforgiving geomagnetic storms rage, blocking out the sun and poisoning the radioactive Earth. Humanity clings to survival above the tempestuous skies in giant airships, sustained by Hell Divers—brave souls who risk their lives plunging to the surface for essential parts and supplies.
But this is not the story of the Hell Divers. This is the saga of the survivors on the ground, centered on Nick Baker, a frail orphan born in the perpetual darkness of an ITC bunker. He spent his early years toiling in a machine shop dreaming of what might be beyond the dark skies and poisoned wastes. That dream became a nightmare when Cazador raiders descended, massacring and enslaving his people.
From the savage cradle of life underground to the campaign of war across the brutalized surface, witness Nick’s rise from boy slave to a towering, fearsome warrior hell-bent on freeing his people from bondage to the great Cazador empire.
Embark on this riveting postapocalyptic adventure and discover the legend of a man his enemies will come to fear as Rhino
