“I absolutely loved this audiobook! The narration is gripping and so well done. This is perfect for older middle-grade readers and even early YA readers who are looking for sci-fi and adventure without all the teen angst and romance. ”

“What a start to the Dragonships series! This older middle-grade book has a 13-year-old underdog hero and dragons, so many dragons! This is an action-packed book that is truly hard to stop listening to. The narrator is perfect! I can't wait for the next book in the series.”

“When Lunar Jones, an orphan living on Mars, goes out into the wastes to collect a valuable piece of scrap tech, he runs into trouble, stumbles on an uncharted military base, and encounters the biggest secret in the galaxy. Combining the training and space battles of Ender's Game with the dragon lore and dragonriding of Eragon and Skandar, this is a perfect adventure for reluctant readers — short, punchy sentences and manageable chapters, plus high stakes that are dialed in to a personal level you can really get your emotions around. Also great for anyone who loves that blended sci-fi-fantasy vibe. And dragons — there's some really cool space dragon stuff here that I won't spoil for you!”
— Dawn • Hartfield Book Co.
“Nail-biting action scenes, relatable characters, and a fantastic new take on dragons…a thrilling ride!” —A.F. Steadman, New York Times bestselling author of the Skandar series
A boy living on Mars unexpectedly becomes a dragon rider in this “rip-roaring” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) first book in the sci-fi and fantasy mash-up The Dragonships series, sure to delight fans of Skandar and Eragon.
Keep your eyes down and your feet moving, or this planet will rust you.
That’s what Lunar Jones tells the other kids at the relocation clinic. All of them were born on Mars, a planet that never wanted people in the first place. With resources scarce and hope even scarcer, it’s easy to get distracted looking up. After all, their ancestors descended from the stars.
Martian history always starts with Earth. The first astronauts discovered that space was already occupied. Not by little green men or flying saucers. It was full of dragons. One for every moon, every planet, every star. When humanity discovered that Earth’s dragon had sacrificed herself to make their home planet habitable, they set their sights on Mars. If one dead dragon could breathe life into a world, why not create another one? Mankind won the war that followed, but with one catch. As the dragon died, he whispered a curse over Mars. The first settlers found their crops wouldn’t grow. Animals hunted them. Storms raged endlessly. It took three generations to figure out the truth: Mars was doomed.
Lunar knows all the old stories about dragons and space, but no one up there’s planning to help him or his crew. Instead, he focuses on scrapping valuable gear that the storms uncover in the war zone. Until one day, a salvaging run goes wrong. Desperate to find shelter, Lunar goes underground in a restricted zone. What he finds there, buried in the Martian dust, might just be the only hope left for a dying planet.
