Big Trouble, Little Earth 2

Big Trouble, Little Earth, Book 2

By: J.N. Chaney

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

The galaxy's most reluctant hero is back—and this time, trouble's got his home address.

Dalton Thorne just wanted his cargo ship back. Maybe a bowl of noodles. Definitely some peace and quiet on humanity's newly liberated fragment of Earth. But when Little Earth's miraculous transformation starts turning deadly, he discovers that saving the world was the easy part. Now he has to survive in it.

Which would be a lot easier if a faction of powerful beings known as Chi Hunters weren’t hell bent on hunting him down.

On the run and armed with antique weapons, half-cooked “plans,” and a stolen spacecraft that smells like death warmed over, Dalton must race to find his lost ship before the wrong people find him first. But in a universe where dragons are real, planets can vanish, and the line between hero and wanted fugitive is drawn in disappearing ink, the mission is a lot easier said than done. Adrift, on the run, and in way over his head, some beacons are meant to guide you home. Others are meant to lure you to your doom.

And Captain Dalton Thorne can never tell the difference.

The irreverent sci-fi adventure continues with twice the snark, three-point-five times the danger, and absolutely zero improvement in Dalton's decision-making skills. Perfect for fans of space opera with an 80’s action movie vibe, reluctant heroes who complain their way to victory, and anyone who thinks the galaxy could use more sarcasm per square parsec.

Infinite One Liner entertainment!

In the first couple minutes I was thinking, that's a great one liner for my review title. Well. ole Dalton never lets up and several hundred great one liners later I give up.
Assuming you are here after book one, you are in good hands. More fun mayhem with our favorite simple cargo hawler and friends. Enough new twists and some long term 'that really happen to Earth' lore to keep it fresh and fun.
Audio performance is still absolutely top shelf. I have hard enough time with the English language in my natural born voice so doing all these various alien races and keeping them different and constant is a real talent.

Great read (listen)!

I enjoyed the second book of this series. The humor and optimism of Big D is a nice change from many books like this which are downers. I'm definitely enjoying the unique story and the characters as they further develop.

something different and yet entertaining

Im not used to JN Chaney using Magic in Sci-Fi but he has made this rather fun. I cant wait for the next installment of this story. Definitely different.
