Rex Dalton Thrillers: Books 1-3

That terrorist attack killed Rex Dalton’s parents and two younger siblings. The peaceful young man who’d looked forward to a career in the US Foreign Service was emotionally damaged in that attack, and he’d transformed into the brooding, angry man who’d joined the Marines to avenge his losses. From there he was recruited into Delta Force and trained as a Special Forces operator and from there into the black ops outfit, CRC, where he was trained as one of the world’s most lethal assassins—a capacity in which he rained terror, destruction, and death on the enemies of the US.

But in 2014, while on a mission in Afghanistan, Rex and his men were betrayed and led into an ambush that killed his entire team except Digger, a military trained Dutch shepherd owned by the former Australian SAS operative, Trevor Madigan, Rex’s good friend, who was also killed that night. Digger was now Rex’s trusted companion because of the promise Trevor extracted as he lay dying. Rex had been afraid of dogs before that, and even as he promised to care for the dog, he hadn’t known how he’d do it, or whether Digger would accept him. But Rex had little to worry about; Digger soon accepted him into his pack and they quickly became best friends as they set out in a new life, away from those who had betrayed him and his men. With a certificate to back it, Rex passed Digger off as his service dog, complete with yellow vest, as they traveled around the world for more than two years.

Although he and Digger had left Afghanistan and set out for a life of peace and quiet,it seemed that wherever they went they landed in a situation where they had to use their special skills to help someone in trouble. Many days Rex found himself wondering if it was his destiny or his curse for the many killings he’d done over the years before.Atonement for his sins?—a standing duty of care to everyone who crossed his path in life?
