Lunar Jones is barely existing on Mars - a planet that was cursed by the death of the dragon that also transformed it into a livable place, but one where the flora and the fauna are out to kill humans. Betrayed and stuck in the inhospitable wilderness, Lunar finds his way to a secret facility, where his destiny as the companion to a hidden dragon is revealed. Can Lunar step up to the challenge and be the companion this dragon demands and also keep the Mars military happy?
I love science fiction. and I love Reintgen. I hope that having dragons involved will entice my many fantasy readers to give this a chance - it is really good.
