I am about 25% into this and so far so good. The action starts pretty quickly with an action-packed dive to ground. So far the story seems to be centered around a diver named X. Most divers don't survive past 15 dives, but X has outlasted them all by a long shot. So far the story is just getting into what makes this guy tick. Two stories going on simultaneously: what is happening on the ship (the Hive) and what is happening with the divers on the ground. Will they ever find a habitable place on earth to land the ship and survive? Only time will tell.
Anyone else reading this right now?

If anyone is looking for an exciting read...I am recommending this one. I am about 80% in and the action is non-stop. First you have a ship with 500 plus people living and floating above the earth, since the earth was made inhabitable a few hundred years prior (war, bombs, etc.). The hell divers must travel down to the earth surface for parts and supplies to help them survive on the ship. Without them, the ship and all the people on board would parish. Lots of danger below to deal with (yes there are weapons involved). Lots of excitement on the ship as well. So far a fun book!
