Search for the Astral Dragon

 

Bryan Davis's latest book, Search for the Astral Dragon, is a heart-pounding, emotionally intense story suitable for middle-grade readers and older. Megan Willas spent her childhood helping her parents pursue freedom and justice--or so she thought. Now enslaved on a space freighter, she still clings to hope that her mother will find and free her. 

The themes of this book strongly reminded me of the author's earlier Dragons of Starlight books; freedom, hope, and the value of all human life. At the same time, it has a vivid, unique setting with nonhuman aliens, memorable characters, and an intriguing plot. 

I heartily recommend this book for sci-fi fans, avid readers, and anyone looking for a good read. 

The book can be purchased at online retailers or at the author's website.  I also did a brief dramatic reading. 

Heaven Came Down: Book One of The Oculus Gate

 Imagine a world where angels have descended from heaven, uniting mankind behind a common creed, ending war and crime. It sounds ideal--but there's a darker side. In Heaven Came Down, the first book in the Oculus Gate series, readers are introduced to a small band of freedom fighters who are desperate to free humanity from these 'angels.'

I've read most of Davis's previous books, but this series takes a different angle, more action-adventure than fantasy. It also takes place over a much shorter timespan, two or three days rather than weeks or months. The fast pace and growing tension kept me reading until I'd finished.

This book and the rest of the series can be purchased on Amazon here, I have also posted a video of my dramatic reading from the first chapter of the book.

Eye of the Oracle--dramatic reading and contest promotion

 Bryan Davis is hosting a contest to celebrate 20 years of being a full-time
author! As part of the contest, I am posting this video review and dramatic reading scene from Eye of the Oracle, the first book in the Dragons in Our Midst series!

This book is both a prequel and a sequel to the Dragons in Our Midst quartet. I heavily recommend reading those books first, as the events prove pivotal to the overarching plot in this book, which stretches from before the flood up to the modern era. But to those who are already familiar with the DioM world, this book shouldn't be missed. It introduces amazing, wonderful characters who demonstrate amazing faith and courage against overwhelming odds, as well as creating a memorable world.
