TALKER 25

by: Joshua McCune (author)

1.94 45

Joshua McCune's gritty and heart-pounding novel is a masterful reimagining of popular dragon fantasy lore set in a militaristic future reminiscent of Paolo Bacigalupi's Ship Breaker and Ann Aguirre's Outpost. Chilling, epic, and wholly original, this debut novel imagines a North America where dragons are kept on reservations, where strict blackout rules are obeyed no matter the cost, where the highly weaponized military operates in chilling secret, and where a gruesome television show called Kissing Dragons unites the population. After a high-school prank goes horribly wrong, Melissa Callahan becomes an unsuspecting pawn in a war between man and monster, between family and friends and the dragons she has despised her whole life. Talker 25 delivers action, adventure, fantasy, and a reimagining of popular dragon lore.

Over the next hour and a half, twenty more dragon names cross my computer screen. All ignore me. “Why aren’t they answering?” I ask Lester. I scan the script for what I’m supposed to do but can’t find anything that applies...the section near page bottom—For arrogant or annoyed dragons. “Please help ...

What an emotional ride. I went from being completely ecstatic to having a hard time reading the travesties that fall upon Melissa and the dragons. I dare you to read this and not get hot under the collar caused by the total injustice and lack of respect for life you experience in this book. What....

I really wanted to like this book because dragons, right? But try as I might I just couldn't get into it. I wasn't happy that it's been compared to Ann Aguirre's Outpost because that book is amazing. This just falls flat. After sneaking into the dragon sanctuary and inadvertently catching the milita...

***This review has also been posted on Tangled in PagesThis book is a big fat joke and I really wish I hadn’t been drawn to it because of it's pretty cover. I should have learned my lesson but I never do. Plus I decided to not read any of the reviews which could have prevented me from wasting the pa...
