Product Description

In this exciting space adventure, fourteen-year-old Jack Morgan and Draycos, a poet/warrior K'da dragon who can hide himself as a tattoo on Jack's back, have their backs to the wall. Brought together by a twist of fate, these two have been through a lot of scrapes, risking death and imprisonment on worlds far and wide, seeking justice for Jack and information that might save Draycos's people from a genocidal ambush. But now, Neverlin, the man who killed Jack's parents and destroyed the scout fleet of which Draycos was the sole survivor, is about to ambush millions of K'da refugees, and kill them with a Death weapon that kills any living being within its range. To prevent Neverlin from eradicating the K'da race, Jack and Draycos must somehow disable the Death.

But for Jack and Draycos, things never seem to go the way they should. When Jack's friend Alison is captured, Jack gives himself up to keep her from being harmed. Neverlin, with Jack and Draycos as his prisoners, holds all the cards. But desperate times call for desperate measures, as time is running out, not just for our young heroes, but also for the millions of K'da who face annihilation, and resourceful Jack and his remarkable ally will fine a way . . . or die trying.
 
A powerful, thrilling conclusion to this terrific Young Adult six-book series. Fun for readers 10 and older.

5.0 out of 5 stars exhilarating young adult science fiction saga, June 7, 2008
Fourteen-year-old space pilot Jack Morgan and poet-warrior Draycos continue their symbiotic quest to bring the human closure following the murders of his family and a way to save the K'da dragon's race from genocide. They have survived much, but neither feels they have made any meaningful progress towards achieving either stretch goal and time is running out at least for the K'da Dragons. Still they work together as Draycos hides as a tattoo on Jack's back.

Neverlin, the human killer of Jack's parents and the fleet in which Draycos was the only survivor, has obtained a Death machine. He plans to use it in conjunction with his allies to eradicate millions of K'da refugees. Only Jack and Draycos stand in his way, but what can a teen and a tattoo do to prevent the holocaust.

Although obviously similar in tone to the previous five books in this exhilarating young adult saga, the final Dragonback adventure is a great finish as the suspense grows to extraordinary levels with the heroes literally having their backs against the wall. The story line is faster than a K'da scout ship never slowing down with the readers wondering if the heroes are going to lose. Although targeting middle school, science fiction fans of all ages will appreciate this strong series as the dragon and human have battled against impossible odds in search of justice for themselves and others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragon and Liberator, June 19, 2008
Dragon and liberator
The conclusion of any book series is to be celebrated. With Timothy Zahn, and the Dragonback saga, it is bittersweet. "Dragon and Liberator" not only concludes the saga satisfactorally, but also makes you realize how amazingly good an author he is.
"Dragon and Liberator" takes readers into the lives of Jack Morgan and his poet/warrior dragon, K'da directly into the cross hairs of Neverlin,the man who killed Jack's parents so many years before. Jack and Draycos weave and bob as their lives are endangered time and time again by a death weapon at the hands of a madman with a personal vendetta. Fans of the series previous 5 books, familiar with the plot lines, will experience `a ha' as threads are explained and concluded. The rapid pulse staccato style of Zahn keeps readers guessing and page turning right up to page 384.
If this is your first exposure to the Dragonback series, pick up the first 5, and sit by your favorite fireplace. Start at book one. By the time you reach "Dragon and Liberator", you will be appreciate an epic struggle for survival, revenge, and closure, and the work of a master author-craftsman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another in a decent series, October 3, 2008
By Ok2bclever (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This entire series is vetted as for "young readers" and while it is not a complex, deep philosophical book it kept my interest through out and I am 54 so this is one I have shared with my thirteen year old and we have been equally satisfied with it.

Me because it was entertaining enough and not in anyway condenscending in tone and to my thirteen year old as the main character is fourteen. LOL.

I recommend the entire series.
