The Dragonships Series - 1: The Last Dragon on Mars - Special First Edition

Více o knize

A boy on Mars unexpectedly becomes a dragon rider in this first installment of a sci-fi and fantasy series that will captivate fans of Skandar and Eragon. Lunar Jones advises the other kids at the relocation clinic to keep their eyes down and feet moving, as Mars, a planet that never wanted humans, is unforgiving. With resources and hope running low, it’s easy to be distracted by the legacy of their ancestors from Earth. Martian history reveals that when the first astronauts arrived, they found not little green men, but dragons—one for every celestial body. After humanity learned that Earth’s dragon had sacrificed itself to make their planet habitable, they turned their sights on Mars. Following a victorious war, a dying dragon cursed the planet, leading to barren crops, predatory animals, and relentless storms. It took generations to realize Mars was doomed. While Lunar knows the old tales of dragons and space, no one plans to assist him or his crew. Instead, he scavenges for valuable gear revealed by the storms. However, a salvaging run goes awry, forcing him to seek shelter underground in a restricted zone. What he uncovers in the Martian dust may be the last hope for his dying world.
