Big Trouble, Little Earth 5

Big Trouble, Little Earth, Book 5

By: J.N. Chaney, Jason Anspach

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

Dalton Thorne has been in a few places at the same time before. He just wishes he could do it on command.

Fresh off a daring rescue that cost him a friend and nearly cost him everything else, Dalton finds himself stranded on the edge of a galactic war with a banged-up crew, a sealed connection to the only cosmic guide he's ever had, and zero contact with the home world he's supposed to be saving. The Emperor's realm has gone dark. Little Earth is a black box. And the Chi Hunters who once needed him have made it clear they've found another way.

But Dalton isn't alone. Major Ballast and his battle-hardened soldiers are building something unprecedented... a human resistance hidden in plain sight beneath the Consortium's nose. All they need is time, ships, and a cargo hauler crazy enough to fly missions into hostile space without asking too many questions.

The problem is, Dalton has questions. Lots of them. About the missions he's running. About the plan he can't see. About the ancient ruins on a restricted planet that no one was supposed to visit. And about the truth behind Earth's destruction, a truth that every power in the galaxy has a reason to keep buried.

The Kagi's destiny belongs to him alone. It's time he started acting like it.

Finally starting to come together

I absolutely love this series. Characters and story. Narrator is brilliant too. There have been some glaring problems with the storyline but it is starting to firm up now.
