Rusty Hinges

Metal Boxes, Book 3

By: Alan Black

Narrated by: Doug Tisdale Jr.

Stone's fist, secure in the combat suit and hidden by camouflage, impacted the Hyrocanian mouth before it closed around the baby. Stone grabbed the helpless piglet with his free hand and tossed it to a startled female. The piglet, the last of her kind on the delivery shuttle, grabbed the baby and ran.

Stone twisted his fist, trying his best to break every tooth in the Hyrocanian's mouth. Hyrocanians have four sets teeth, two for chewing vertically, and two for chewing horizontally. Suddenly, his fist broke free from the shattered teeth. Opening his fist, he felt something soft and squishy at the back of the alien's throat. He closed his fingers around it and yanked.

Critic reviews

"Ratcheting up the excitement and the stakes, Black nails it again with Rusty Hinges, the latest in his Metal Boxes sci-fi series!" (Melanie Tighe, book reviewer for the Phoenix CITYSunTimes)

I like the book overall

overall I like the story it's a little unbelievable maybe high school level but still I am finishing the series so that's something.

Entertaining

Our hero is growing older and still manages to save the day. I'm excited about the next book and hope to get it soon.
