 The Dragoneers (The Chronicles of Susah, Book 1)"This novel defies conventional classification: is it science fiction?
biblical fiction? thriller? The story describes a world where flying
two-headed dragons and ogres exist, characters with telepathic gifts
communicate with both animals and people, a man named Noah builds an Ark
in his backyard, and a six-fingered giant named Lilith wants to take
over the world. While this collage may have been implausible in lesser
hands, the author makes it work, artfully drawing readers into
Sethopolis (the "center of the last human-dominated nation on Earth")
and constructing an adventure with attention-grabbing plot twists. at
the center of it all is 18-year old Susah, a feisty heroine with the
ability to communicate telepathically. Sheltered by her father, Noah,
from the evils of the world, Susah's life takes an unexpected turn when
her aunt and uncle are killed by a violent street gang. Mesmerized by
the soldier who rescues her and the flying dragon under his control, she
decides to join the Dragoneer Corps, defenders of the Eden zone, and
become a dragoneer. Lilith, aware of Susah's gifts, wants to have her
killed. As Susah trains to become a skilled dragoneer, she embarks on a
collision course with Lilith's army of giants and ogres as they march
toward the Eden zone for the ultimate battle between good and evil..."
