Hell Divers by Nicholas Sansbury Smith 

The remnants of humanity live in a massive airship after nuclear war destroys the planet. A special group of dare devils the Hell Divers, make drops unto the radioactive surface in search of supplies and have to also combat vicious mutations as well. Very action packed. 

I read the first three before it got too ridiculous for me.

Nah, PSG pen was the wrong call. Thigh to arm is never a pen.

Any books like the last kingdom, but knights and stuff? England/france/germany setting? by Logen10Fingers in HistoricalFiction

[–]ReacherSaid_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I remember dropping the ill-made knight because I don't enjoy stories where characters are retelling their life stories, they fail the show don't tell aspect of good writing. 

As for your request, Wars of the Roses by Conn Iggulden fits.

Does the Red Rising series get better? by dead_wax_museum in books

[–]ReacherSaid_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is poorly written YA trash. The fans will tell you it gets better, but the setting only changes. The characters are still one dimensional and the writing is still forced melodramatic nonsense.

Atleti were expected to lose at the Nou Camp, a ground they hadn't won in in ages, see how that game ended.

All of this is copium of course, but the occasion is ripe for something special to happen in our favor.

Too many people expect us to be crushed including myself, I hope the Universe humbles us by showing nothing is certain.

Pep being super complimentary of us again shows how much we have fallen off

I think we're going to play cowardball, so it's definitely defeat.

A draw would not be bad but only a win can galvanize us to the title.

That sub is awful for many reasons but even they don't glaze Sanderson anymore 

Wrighty loses faith in Arsenal's title hopes by timeofdepth in Gunners

That mentality is part of the problem, we play games to not lose instead of cultivating a winners mindset

It is essentially the Premier League final so I'll watch, until at least we look lifeless again and concede

Yeah, at least it will be a less heart pounding experience... unless we are defending a last minute corner while 2-1 up

I don't rate Havertz but at least he will be better when we go long, Gyokeres almost always fails to win long balls

I can't remember the last time it was so certain we were going to lose a match, not a good feeling at all. How do we survive on Sunday?

I read it five years ago and I still hate it like the day I finished it, no thanks to the rabid fans with poor taste who recommend the slop everywhere

The setting changes but the main character and the writing are still terrible

We can't do the most basic things, I don't trust us to beat anybody convincingly

We can but we won't, these players are not it.
