Island Metal
Saving Earth made the Combat Salvaging Unit legendary, and they were rewarded.
When Jam and his friends kick back on the beach of their new island, they quickly learn not everything is as it seems. Prehistoric beasts refuse to share paradise, and the CSU is forced to dust off its rigs to stay alive.
Fighting for survival is nothing new to Jam and his friends, and the local wildlife doesn’t pose an unreasonable threat to mechanized combat rigs.
But when a cabal of wayward star travelers turned the island into a weapon, the CSU decides it’s their job to make things right before enjoying their retirement.
Fans of the previous Tall Boys books, The Last Reaper, Homeworld Lost, Star Blade, and Blue Sun Armada will cheer for Jam and his friends to get it right when everything goes wrong. Get in a rig if you want to live!

Juliette was my Dog
I don't really know what to say. Scott has written another epic, and I am looking forward to the next one.
Well done, Moon Man Well done indeed.

Fun Read with Great Humor
It was a fun read and i always enjoy the humor. I am wondering if there will be another book in this series. I got the sense this was the end. I will be hopeful.
