Publisher's summary

For millennia, dragons and humans have shared the Earth. For most of that time, it has been a peaceful coexistence, primarily because contemporary human civilizations considered dragons to be nothing more than fairytales created from the fanciful imaginings of cave-dwelling hunter-gatherers. In truth, they have always been an integral part of a healthy planetary biosphere, and without them, Earth's environmental balance would have collapsed long ago.

Since the age of eleven, Jacob Payne has been leading the charge in integrating the knowledge of ancient dragons into the innovative technologies that play a key role in the survival and proliferation of the human race. Although their contributions to sustained ecological balance can be found around the globe, the presence of dragons themselves, had been intentionally concealed behind a voluntary veil of separation that effectively prevented the co-mingling of Earth's two dominant species.

When that veil was removed by the President of the United States, following the heroic actions of dragons in repelling an extraterrestrial invasion by the Drokarians, and preventing the planetary takeover by an ancient Deep-Earth species known as borlamites, many people embraced their new-found neighbors. Others did not.

In the wake of a tragedy involving a Royal Norwegian Navy frigate, in which nearly one hundred seamen lost their lives, the blame was laid at the feet of a dragon, and suddenly unwarranted fear crept into the psyches of many who had previously embraced and revered them. Despite the tireless advocacy of Jacob and Danielle Payne, the entirety of the dragon species faces a crucible in which the very civilization they have rescued from the brink of extinction, now seems to be turning against them.

Amazing series!

This is a lovely conclusion to an exceptional series. I like that McFarland found a soul mate for each of the main characters throughout the series. While I know the Pain family stories could go on for ever, I was happy with the way this book wraps up the series.

The narrator is flawless as usual and am amazed by his smooth pronunciation of the dragon names.

Goodness Prevails!

Riano D. McFarland does it again. Along with great narrating by AC Oliver, Mr. McFarland writes a wholesome, happy tale about the Paynes, King T’Aer Bolun Dakkar, and all the other dragons and their bonded riders. It's a simple, well-written story appropriate for all ages. He has created a utopia that is refreshing to believe in and be swept into amidst all the backbiting and turmoil in the world today.

I received this book for free in return for an hones review.

Oh, To Be Jake Payne!

I've read all of the Jake's Dragon books, and AC Oliver brings the story to life in grand form. His voicing for the different characters and dragons is remarkable. Of course, McFarland's ability to create a world in which dragons still live and make it believable is absolutely stunning. There's no profanity or excessive violence, but this story, like all the others in the series, is absolutely compelling! I hope there will be another JD book in the future.
