Here is the blurb from The Weapon from Beyond -
The stars whispered: Die, Starwolf! Die!Morgan Chane was an Earthman by parentage, but he had been born on the pirate-world Varna, whose heavy gravity had developed strength and incredibly quick reflexes in him. When he was old enough, he joined the raider-ships that looted the starworlds, and fought side by side with the dreaded Starwolves of Varna.
But then there was a fight among them. Chane killed their leader, and the other Starwolves turned on him. He barely got away alive---wounded near death, his Starwolf pursuers following him across the galaxy.And there was nowhere he could seek refuge, for no world would lift a hand to save one of the hated Starwolves.
The Closed Worlds (Starwolf #2) - February 21, 2018
World of the Starwolves (Starwolf #3) - February 26, 2018
Yay! Stick a fork in this one; it's done!#FinishingTheSeries2018
However, after retiring from a 34 year long stint in city government to take a fun, retirement job and moving nearer to "the country," my husband and I both now had commutes that allowed time for audiobooks. Additionally, with our children grown we were taking more and more driving trips with each other and enjoyed listening to audiobooks together. One of the first books we stumbled on was C.J. Box's Back of Beyond, part of his Highway Quartet, which at the time was simply a "duet." More road trips lead me to seeking out the author's Joe Pickett series.
Hubby liked the series so much he quickly outstripped me in where he was in the series. Since I don't like to read series book out of order, we listen to other books when in the car together. (We've been working our way through J.A. Jance's Ally Reynolds series for quite some time.) However, these books were so good to listen to together and share that I'm including them in this year's challenge so I can catch back up with Joe (and Jim).Prior to the start of this challenge, I have listened my way up to Free Fire, number 7 in the Joe Pickett series. Below are the titles in the series in order of publication, and I'll note the dates that I finish them.
