Planet of Diamonds by J. Dalton

Multi-volume, multi-genre author J. Dalton introduces us to his exciting science fiction novel, “Planet of Diamonds”:
Knowing his former owner will want to kill him for helping Jessie and Patrick escape, Kreig still wants to return to his home planet and warn them of Global Mining Industries' plan to eliminate the native population and claim the planet, and all the uncut diamonds just laying there, for their own.

What could possibly go wrong?

What a flipping entertaining story! The main plotline of preventing commercial exploitation of a stone-age-level society is admirable. The secondary plotlines are quite interesting as well. A little romance, a little skullduggery here and there. Honest, simple-speaking Krieg is my favorite character, without a doubt. Not understanding the multitude of the fine points of English means his English is broken but he is able to make himself understood.
I enjoyed this story tremendously! Don't miss it! I award four point five stars as I am picky about certain things. Don't mistake me, this is a 5-star story!

In October of 2023, my wife was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of lung cancer that had spread to her bones. The doctors gave her three months to live.
On Christmas eve, she went in for a nap and when I went in to check on her, she was lying crossways on the bed and couldn't move or speak.
She was rushed to the hospital, where they finally discovered the cancer had messed up her electrolytes. Three days later, the insurance company told the hospital they wouldn't continue to pay for her care if she wasn't getting treatment, and we had to take her home. There were no beds available in any nursing home or any nurses available for home care. So, for three days, my son, daughter and I took turns sleeping on the floor so she wouldn't fall if she tried to get out of bed. 
How do you, as an individual, take care of a terminally ill person who needs around the clock care?
Then, we found Charlotte House, or rather through friends on Facebook, they found us. They came to our house and did an interview, then made arrangements with our doctors to transfer their care to them.
They couldn't save my wife, but they saved our family.

I can never re-pay the love and care they gave to us all, but I have dedicated all the royalties and signed-book fees I get for my books to support them and "Pay it Forward" for others in need.
They have truly become part of my family.
My Mafia, so to speak.

Charlotte House is a comfort care home, located in Wyoming County, N.Y., for individuals who are diagnosed as terminal with less than (3) months to live. Residents at Charlotte House receive quality care and support from staff, family and trained volunteers.
There is never a charge to a resident or their family for resident care thanks to the support of a wonderful community and generous donors. Charlotte House is completely supported by fundraisers, donations, grants, memorials and bequests. A large portion of care is provided by community members that donate their time. Without this support, Charlotte House could not exist.
Interested people can also get free autographed copies when they make a donation to charity by emailing me: [email protected].
I will give them instructions on how they can make the donations. I pay postage anywhere inside the continental US.
