Free Range Chicken is the third book in the Chicken of the Sea series. It begins the next morning as nearly 15-year-old Victor Joshua takes a precarious step towards manhood. After an explosion, his family heads north up the Queensland coast where tragedy and crocodiles lurk. Although it means giving up what he loves, and putting his life in danger, Victor Joshua returns to the USA, confronting the man who has spent 12 years trying to murder him, and discovering something far more precious.
