Rachel Aukes answered Bruce R.'s question: Is there anything after book 3 of Flight of the Javelin series? It seems to end right when the going gets toughest. Not at this time as the sales weren't quite good enough for the publisher to continue the series. However, I have a 6-book story arc planned, which I hope to revisit.

Rachel Aukes liked C.A. Knutsen's review of Bounty Hunter: Lone Gunfighter of the Wastelands: "Good characters, rugged fronteir The characters capture your interest right away. Some who have lost their perspective on right and wrong find it again in the story. This story is set in a very violent place and time."
