What's the Story?
Lunar and Dread face their fiercest foe, THE VOID DRAGONS who hunt for them across the solar system. With only clues that Proteus left before he disappeared, Lunar and the rest of his crew try to make a plan with very little to go on. For the first time in hundreds of years, the dragons converge, determining what, if anything, they should do to assist. Meanwhile, Lunar watches as his original crew is promoted and recruited, forcing him to take on new crew members and see those he's come to think of as family move on. But when the truth of the threat becomes clear, will Dread and Lunar find a way to keep the solar system from being devoured?
Is It Any Good?
Exciting and well-crafted, this is a satisfying conclusion to a fun, epic adventure. In The Void Dragons, the relationships and threats established through the first two books come to a head. Watching the characters readers have grown to love face their most difficult challenge yet is thrilling.
A few loose threads linger, which may make readers wonder if they will be resolved in a future installment or spinoff, but overall, this book brings the story of the dragon of Mars to an enjoyable end. The mix of action, fantasy, and sci-fi elements, plus strong characters makes a story that dragon fans will truly enjoy.
