Audio edition of the first book in the popular Dragonback science fiction series from Hugo Award-winning author Timothy Zahn.
Timothy Zahn has been entertaining science fiction readers young and old for more than twenty years with exciting, thought-provoking adventures. Dragon and Thief is sure to delight all his fans and gain new teen and adult readers as well.
Jack Morgan has been framed for theft. He's hiding on a distant planet with the virtual presence of his deceased Uncle Virge, a con man who has been his only family since Jack's parents died. Jack knows he must clear his name before the cops catch up with him. A firefight among ships in the skies above leaves a downed ship near Jack's hiding place, with a single unlikely survivor. It looks like a dragon, and it must join with a human host within six hours or die. The only available host is Jack.
Draycos, Jack's new companion, is a K'da, a dragon-like species that lives symbiotically with the humanoid Shontine. The attackers, determined to exterminate Draycos's people, will find them if they don't flee; so the pair works together to escape the planet and begin a search for the truth behind Jack's frame-up and the identity of the attackers.
With Jack's future hanging in the balance, as well as the future of billions of Draycos's people, the pair must track down the people who framed Jack, and prevent the destruction of the remaining K'da and Shontine. They'll also discover whether their union was mere coincidence, or a friendship written in the stars. Zahn keeps the story moving at breakneck speed.

The scientific explanation behind Dracos' abilities, grounded in physics, makes it feel both realistic and fascinating.
There are also several compelling moments that raise moral questions and issues. These topics can lead to wonderful discussions as a family, and I plan to focus on them when my boys start reading the series. I will be ordering the entire series in physical copies and am looking forward to more books being released in audiobook format.
Fun partnership, Great Moral discussion points

As stated in my headline, this was absolutely one of the best YA novels I've ever read. It completely lacks the usual annoying, arrogant, self-centered protagonist and has a decidedly more complex plot than most YA novels.
I'm more of a fantasy reader, so I was honestly hoping for a bit less Sci-fi and a bit more fantasy (dragon and all). Some aspects of the "Dragon" itself were a little off-putting, but once I got used to the presentment of the creature and the story, I actually really enjoyed it. A lot more than I thought I would.
One of the best YA books I've read

great listen

I will admit, I am not a fan of the narrator for this book. (Don't get me wrong, she has a good voice... Just don't think this is a good fit for it). The performance was fine, but her voice was too high and feminine for all the gruff males in the book.
Interesting premise. Good book.
