If you’ve heard people rave about Hell Divers but never knew where to jump in, start here. Into the Storms: A Hell Divers Prequel is an action-packed beginning of the Hell Divers series, and it’s dropping today! So if you see it on the shelves, make sure you do pick it up.
This is the kind of novel that pulls you in from the first pages and does not let go, all the way until the explosive end. I read the ARC a few months ago, and it kept me up into the morning hours because I just could not stop; that’s how good it was.

Now, the important part of the story is that the end of Into The Storms: A Hell Divers Prequel is somewhat open-ended. No spoilers here, but there is a lot left to uncover in the story once you are done with the book.
We’ve spoken to Nicholas Sansbury Smith about that exact fact, and he had vital information to say.
What Is Changing In Into The Storms: A Hell Divers Prequel Part 2?
As you might already be aware, if you’ve read from the first pages of the book (or if you are one of those who also read the last pages…), Nicholas Sansbury Smith said that this prequel will happen in two parts.
… I made a decision. This would be a two-book story, the first documenting how Industrial Tech Corporation (ITC) rose to power … The second book will document the struggles and tribulations of the survivors…
This is not new information to anyone who has paid attention to the first pages, but what is important is what will actually happen in Part 2.

We’ve asked Nicholas Sansbury Smith a few questions about Into The Storms: A Hell Divers Prequel Part 2, and here is what he had to say.
Is there going to be a time jump, or will it pick up from where the first book left off?
The second book will take off right where book one left off.
This is actually great news because the way Part 1 ended, there is nothing I would like more than to just keep the story going and moving forward.

Are there going to be new characters due to the way the first book ended?
There will be some new characters and new locations that fans from the series will recognize.
Without spoiling the end of the first book, there are obviously some characters that will not be in the second book. Let’s just leave it at that…
However, what is exciting is that we will get brand new characters and familiar locations from the Hell Divers series, as confirmed by the author! Of course, the author could not reveal more information since the book is still in development, but at least with a 2026 release date, we don’t have to wait too long!
Into The Storms: A Hell Divers Prequel (Part 1) lands today! This is the kind of book that carries a punch, with three different stories that converge into one main thread of action-packed, lore-deepening, and heart-racing missions.
Make sure to pick up a copy as soon as you can!
