This is the third book in the exciting new adventure series Delphi in Space. Now the McCormacks are finally going to get into space. At least if the big governments on Earth don’t stop them. They’ve managed to accumulate enough money to build a city, and now they’re going to build a space station. That will create a safe place to manufacture their new technology, and a way to demonstrate to the world that humans have a future in space.But as they demonstrate more advanced technology, they attract more interest from the world’s governments. The people in power aren’t too happy to be sharing it with some small company in the South Pacific. What will it take to keep their dream alive?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bob Blanton has been an avid reader ever since his mother first took him to a library at age five. He toyed with writing for years after finishing college, but was always too busy to complete a novel. While working for Hewlett Packard Co. and traveling on long business trips to Singapore, Europe, and India, Bob wrote books in his head. After he retired to the beach in Mexico, the only things that competed with writing were the sound of the ocean and sunsets over the water, so he was actually able to finish writing the books he started. Bob completed his first three books, the Stone Series, and he has been working on the Delphi in Space series for the past two years. Now that he has started to publish his series, he hopes you enjoy reading them as much as he has enjoyed writing them. Check back for other books as he continues to ply his new trade.

Bob was born in Augsburg, Germany, the son of a U.S. soldier and a German national. His father moved the family back to the U.S. when Bob was six months old. As a child, his family moved almost every year until Bob was fourteen, but they managed to stay in Colorado Springs, CO, for three years before his father retired from the military. The family moved to Noble, OK, just south of Norman and the University of Oklahoma, where Bob attended college. He raced to the west coast as soon as he graduated, and lived in San Diego, CA, for over thirty years while working as an engineer and manager at HP. After retiring, Bob and his wife moved a few miles south to Mexico where they are enjoying their home on the ocean.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great series so far
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2022

I find this series quite enjoyable, and while a touch star trek idealistic, in that all it takes is technology and good people to solve all problems, it is well written and a great read.

And just like TDS exists for left leaning people, what I call WDS or Woke derangement syndrome exist for far right people, but unlike hollywood who often pick an issue and try to write a weak story around it, be is climate change, racial or gender issues, this author imho at least is doing it right.

It is an engaging story with well fleshed out characters you can empathize with whole happen to be dealing with the above issues as necessary issues for the greater story. Ie. They are primarily issues being settled to drive the story of Mankind's entry in a spacefaring society and not the other way around.

My only criticism is that book 3 declares the Last Jedi to be a good movie.... Sigh.. Hollywood needs to learn they can literally create anystory without tearing down foundational role models of peoples childhoods. Yes I meant this last paragraph sarcastically and jokingly .. But Luke and blue breast milk is all I gotta say.😋

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall okay
Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020

Just finished reading this the third book in the series. The overall plot is that Space Aliens have contacted a very intelligent moderately wealthy American scientist/engineer with a genius 13 year old daughter and tasked them to improve Earth, technology and government so it will be compatible with the interstellar communities and be treated as an equal. Obviously, the story is interesting enough to get me here. It is not the best story I have ever read but I like the idea of the plot line and the characters are interesting enough. Book three is getting a little PC which is a negative distraction for me but I remind myself it is fiction. I will probably go to book four later but I am going to have to take a break.

4.0 out of 5 stars The building of the space station and the intrigue involved was interesting
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2019
Verified Purchase
My title kind of covers my feelings. The building of the space station and the secrets involved were a ton of fun and interesting, but also played a bit to the biggest flaw in the series in that the teenage girls were given far too much ability at times, especially our favorite savant who not only is the best pilot, but involved in just about every major development by now.

But she's kept charming and I'll admit I've run into far more capable teenagers in tales recently.

I still look forward to additional books, and I've enjoyed the series so it lands in the 4 star range.

Delphi is expanding, hiring people, building a floating city with runway. Much like an anchored carrier. Wazzthat? Planes NEED a wind down the deck for both takeoff and landing. Maybe his go vertical, like rockets? No.
At several places, I found myself halting to re-read the stats and back-of-the-envelope calculations, as meetings prioritized what resources they had for each goal. Then allocate them in cars & trucks, building new planes, emplacing satellites, planning an orbital station. Marc allows his 13 year-old prodigy to attend those meetings, fly these transports, train new pilots.
Here, making deals to incorporate battery tech into autos and trucks, by building new plants in Mexico. Example:
'“First, let me clarify,” Marc started his answer.  “The NAFTA treaty requires that cars that export to the US have forty-five percent of the content of the car come from plants where the workers make an average of sixteen dollars per hour.  There is a five-year phase-in period for the rules, and with the provision that forty-five percent of the vehicle content can come from outside of NAFTA countries, the rule actually doesn’t impact wages paid in Mexico by very much.  However, we are starting our workers out at eleven dollars per hour and will raise that based on their productivity improvements as they become trained.  That is significantly higher than today’s eight dollars per hour average, and we are not subcontracting our work to smaller manufacturers here in Mexico that pay substantially lower wages.  We expect that within four years, our average wage will be above fourteen dollars per hour and that we will be setting the bar for automotive wages paid in Mexico.”

Blanton, Bob. Delphi Station (Delphi in Space Book 3) (p. 46). Delphi Publishing. Kindle Edition.

But I guess creating a whole new economic regime will work within existing agreements, until the McCormack family must react to the greedy politicians. They rely heavily on their AI to inform and calculate things like outer-space navigation. This book, I feel it has outgrown their humble beginnings. Was it time to separate the individual stories into separate chapters?
Plot is 3 stars. Impact, pacing- 2 stars. Imagery, Writing - 3 stars.

This was as good as the previous books an in fact I felt it flows better as well. Catie still rocks and yes it’s a bit unbelievable at times but you know what it’s a good old fashioned adventure and needs to suspend belief at times.

The empire building continues and the author as time moving along nicely and I feel is adding in young characters who will age and grow into the story. All in all it’s well written and edited and definitely worth a read.

So download and enjoy 😁
