The Dragon's Egg

Dragonfall, Book 1

By: David A. Wells

Narrated by: Derek Perkins

Seventy-five years ago, the dragons fell from the sky. We thought they were just meteorites - six terrifying explosions rang the world like a bell. When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened.

More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

The war began suddenly. Survivors called it the "apocalypse" - nine billion people killed in an afternoon. Then the dragons revealed themselves, burning huge swaths of what remained, taunting and mocking and murdering the survivors.

Four leaders arose: the Wizard, the Dragon Rider, the Monk, and the Dragon Slayer. Allied with the rebel dragon, they waged war for years until they, too, were defeated, scattered, or killed.

When the war ended, only one dragon remained...but that single dragon was enough to plunge the world into tyranny.

a good solid start

it was a good solid start to what I hope will be an eventful series some characters were a little annoying but you can make it through, the combination of the stalker characters and the use of tech reminded me of mortal engines a little bit

a very fun listen!

there wasn't a dull moment in this book for me I really liked it I just wish it was longer because I finished this one in a weekend lol!

Liked it. but didn't LOVE it

I had a lingering feeling throughout this book that it continuously fell short . I can't quite figure out if it was the story or the narrator. I enjoyed it all the way through. But I felt something was missing the whole time. I can't put my finger on it.

Great story

Great world building with twists and turns. Lovable and hate worthy characters that remind you of someone.

Must Read

Derek Perkins is wonderful. Kudos to David Wells for wonderful story writing. Great character development and imagination. I listened non stop for 3 days couldn't put it down!
