The Rise of the King

Jake's Dragon, Book 2

De: Riano D. McFarland

Narrado por: AC Oliver

With the ascension of T’Aer Bolun Dakkar, a new king now rules the northwestern dragon kingdom. In the unseen world of dragons, even kings must prove themselves worthy, and the appearance of challengers is inevitable. As Jake and T’Aer Bolun Dakkar work tirelessly to address problems plaguing both dragon and human civilizations, dragoneers and eco-terrorists seek to derail their efforts at every turn.

Their search for lasting and peaceful solutions to an impending global disaster are further complicated by a billion-dollar bounty placed on their heads. Nevertheless, they are determined to achieve a balanced ecosystem that supports both dragons and humans, even if—at times—it puts them at odds with both species. Though the obstacles are many, the bond between Jake and T’Aer Bolun Dakkar is a powerful one that will be tested to its very limit, all while attempting to keep the veil separating humans and dragons firmly in place.

A Boy Becomes a Man and a Dragon Becomes a King!

Gone is the timid little savant. Jake and Turbo are no longer hesitant to take the steps necessary to save Mother Earth, and the harder they work for progress, the more determined their detractors are to stop them. Fast cars, cruise missiles, and Columbian kingpins are all on the daily agenda of this dynamic duo, to say nothing of a few Yakuza assassins. Laughter, tears, jubilation, and reflection are all cooked up to perfection by Riano McFarland and expertly served by AC Oliver, whose narration is once again superb. All that, plus dragons like you've never experienced them before. An all-around success and entertaining series. 5 stars, of course!

Abuse of our planet

Have to start this review with one huge thank you to Riano McFarland for the Dedication to no kill shelters around the world.
I highly recommend this book series to everyone that loves dragons. Was brought to tears several times while reading this second book of the series.
Great read for YA.

As awesome as the first!

Jake's Dragon series is proving to be a really good series. I can't wait to read the rest of the books!

Great Book

The author writes about all the problems our society has with pollution, Greed and Power of the few who control it. I love the ways these problems are handled in this Story and wish we had a way to correct it too! Narrator does an amazing job with the various characters voices and the entire storyline.

Loving This Series

The adventure continues in book two, and I’m happy to say it’s just as captivating as the first! The story remains strong, the characters are even more engaging, and I find myself falling deeper into this world with every chapter. Jake and his dragon have completely won me over, and I can’t wait to see where their journey takes them next. Without a doubt, I’m diving straight into book three.

Fabulous sequel, great story!

Excellent storytelling, picked up where book one left off. Epic tale of a genuinely selfless decent human and his bonded dragon and their efforts to save the planet... highly recommend!

Looking forward to book 3

Really enjoyed the book. All climatic scenes delivered without being over done. I look forward to sequels. A good sequel really defines a story.

Utopia

Ahh, to live in Jake and Dani's perfect world along with T’Aer Bolun Dakkar. Good sequel to Book 1. Great book for kids who have not acquired the jaded perspective of life today. Nice to enjoy a good story without the sex and language and minimal violence.

A series for the whole family

Not only is it a great series for the whole family but it’s offers thought-provoking ideas that can be talked about as a family

Love the consistent voicing the narrator gives to each character
