    The third installment of Ditch McGillicuddy's exploits finds Ditch firmly grounded and enjoying a serene and uneventful life with his girl, Abby. He's sold his land for a tidy profit and is ready to live the good life, never suspecting that the all-American girl he's fallen for has some unfortunate ties to the mafia and is part of the Witness Protection Program. Not one to trust government types, Ditch takes it upon himself, in a frenzied and unbalanced way, to protect Abby.As his obsession grows, Ditch builds a fortress of inventive booby traps and sadistic weapons to thwart any and all threats to the woman he loves. His world shrinks to an isolated farm where he spends his time coming up with more and more creative ways to kill the bad guys should they ever show up. Only his closest friends know of his plans, including Sunny, the one girl who got away.Above the Law of Averages is another wild ride, this one in the mind of a man who becomes consumed and somewhat unhinged, all the while keeping his sense of humor and increasingly warped perception of right and wrong.

    Ditch McGillicuddy is a rare individual. After facing a plethora of incredible challenges throughout his life, this guy can best be described as a survivor. No matter what has been thrown at him-a couple of bouts with insanity, multiple attempts on his life from reincarnations of Norse deities, marriage, kids-Ditch has always found a way to remain standing. Not only that, he has somehow managed to keep a sense of humor about the seemingly endless obstacles put before him. With the help of his beautiful wife Sunny, Ditch and the band of godly vessels at his side have made great strides in not only helping the less fortunate around the world, but also taking down evildoers at every turn.Lately, though, Ditch has been on the sidelines. When the powers he'd wielded as Odin's Earthly vessel went away a year ago, he had to step down as team leader and now spends his days trudging through life as a mere mortal. If the quest to regain his powers isn't enough of a challenge, Ditch learns that an anonymous adversary has surfaced with evidence revealing the supernatural abilities that certain members of his group possess. His newest foe's threat to expose these abilities to the world could not only put an end to the group's good deeds, but to their very existence as well. If Ditch fails to thwart the plans of his elusive opponent, this mission could be his last.

    Being asked to do the impossible might throw most people off, but we're talking about Ditch McGillicuddy here, not your average guy. Ditch's life was just starting to return to normal-or at least as normal as his life could be. After nearly dying at the hands of a psychopath, he and Sunny had settled in for a happily boring life. But a trip to Ireland to settle the estate of a cousin he'd never met would change his life-and the lives of those around him-forever.His cousin left him two strange objects: a sword and a block of wood. It just so happens that the sword was magic and could do some rather impressive things when in the right hands. And that block of wood? It was pretty magical too. Turns out that Ditch and some of his closest friends will need more than magic to overcome their latest obstacle. It's up to them to save the universe from the ultimate bad guy who has but one simple goal-to rule over everyone and everything under the sun.Never one to get rattled, Ditch jumps right into this new world, taking Sunny and company along with him. This time around, though, he may have taken on more than he can handle. After all, universe-saving might be even more than Ditch is capable of.

    When the bridle breaks, the horse's direction can't be controlled. The same could be said for Ditch's band of vessels of reincarnated Norse gods. Over the past two years, his group has scattered in all directions. Two members are in the Bahamas managing a resort island and his military strategist has been AWOL for the past few months. Meanwhile, Ditch's wife Sunny has relegated him to only taking part in humanitarian missions out of fear that he'd become a tad too reckless.With the team splintered, elaborate operations that the band of vessels once executed have become a thing of the past. These days, the group's focus is on smaller missions that benefit society. Though their efforts now yield meager results compared to those of days gone by, Ditch's do-gooders are still doing everything they can to make the world a better place.Somewhere along the line, word got out that the group's altruistic accomplishments weren't humanly possible. As a result, a questionable government watchdog organization is now monitoring their activities. The problem is that people picked up for questioning by this agency are never seen again. If the group is to survive this threat to their existence, Ditch will have to return to active duty, pull the troops together, and do what he does best-squash the bad guys.

    A highly contagious virus with a one hundred percent mortality rate has been unleashed on the world. Officials have traced the virus to pangolins sold in the black markets of Asia and Africa. These officials are clueless, however, to the fact that the virus isn't completely of natural origin. No, the deadly component of this contagion was engineered by a rogue human reincarnation of the ancient Norse gods. This means that Ditch and his band of vessels are the only people on the planet with a chance to find an antivirus. If only it were that simple.On the very day that people showing symptoms of the pangovirus began overwhelming hospitals all over the world, Ditch was accidentally whisked away to an Earth in a parallel universe. He was replaced by an unsuspecting doppelgänger from the alternate Earth. To make matters worse, this Ditch had absolutely zero experience in dealing with the otherworldly problems Ditch's crew dealt with on a daily basis-even though he was the reincarnation of Odin in his universe.Ditch's crew is suddenly faced with a three-pronged challenge. If they can somehow find a way to bring him back from this parallel world, then his band of vessels can concentrate on squelching the spreading pandemic and squashing the evil adversary responsible for unleashing it on the world.
