Big Trouble, Little Earth 3
Freedom isn't free—and being humanity's savior doesn't come with an instruction manual.
Dalton Thorne never asked to be the chosen one. He was just a cargo hauler trying to make a living. Now he's stuck saving humanity whether he likes it or not.
Little Earth is finally free from the Consortium's iron grip, but the celebration is short-lived. A mysterious and powerful faction called the Chi Hunters has swept in to fill the void, and they've got grand designs for the galaxy—with Dalton as their unwilling pawn.
When a long-hidden fragment of Earth is discovered, Dalton and the crew of the Iron Horse are dispatched on a mission to unite it with Little Earth. It's the perfect opportunity to slip free from the Chi Hunters' control... and probably land himself in even deeper trouble.
Because when has anything ever gone smoothly for Dalton Thorne?
From the far reaches of space to desperate human refugee camps to reality-warping alternate dimensions, Dalton, Kota, Guardian, and the gang are back for another pulse-pounding adventure. The stakes have never been higher, the dangers never stranger, and the odds of survival? Well, let's just say they've been better.
Somewhere in all this chaos, there's got to be a plan. Right?

Great book.
Lots of action! Dalton Thorne did it again, stirring up a heap of trouble. From one scenario to the other I couldn't put it down. Can't wait for book 4!

Action, surprises and death defying feats.
It was a hard story for our hero Dalton. Everytime he turns around its another battle against overwhelming odds. But he and his team always rally and find a way.
I enjoy these stories. Fiction, so not believable. But still logical and compelling. Looking forward to the next installment.

Dalton Does it Again
I like the totally fantastic otherworldly story. Dalton does well against the seemingly magical goes as well as the overlords who want him dead.
A skillful mix of SciFi and fantasy.
