Chasing the Dragon

Galaxy’s Edge: Contracts & Terminations

By: Jason Anspach, Nick Cole

Narrated by: Ray Porter

They all want the Dragon dead.

The Dragon was trained from his youth to operate as a lethal killing machine. He has tangled with crime lords, dangerous insurgents, even Nether Ops...and none of these forces has been able to bring the elusive warrior to heel.

Enter the notorious bounty hunter Tyrus Rechs.

Rechs takes on the job as a favor to an old Savage Wars buddy. Only Rechs isn’t out to kill the Dragon - his mission is to save the kid’s life.

Unless the Dragon kills Rechs first.

Best of Galaxy's Edge

Requiem for Medusa and Chasing the Dragon are unequivocally the two best prequels in Anspach and Cole's outstanding Galaxy's Edge series.
What makes them so outstanding? Four things:
1. Rex is the main protagonist in both novels;
2. Both stories have captivating and complex plot lines, and they're also chock-full of brutal action scenes;
3. Anspach and Cole's writing is exceptional, offering vivid descriptions of people and planets along the galactic ring, and providing the characters with multidimensional and dynamic personalities;
4. Ray Porter's narration is truly superb.
(IMO, Porter and Bray are the only two narrators capable of hopping in to properly narrate any given story in Galaxy's Edge, without either butchering the voices primary characters or disrupting the overall flow of the story.)
Both Requiem for Medusa and Chasing the Dragon have rightfully earned my highest recommendation. Bravo!

Awesome read

Action packed from start to finish. Strap in for another tale in the galaxy centered around Tyrus Rex and his pursuit of the mysterious bounty "The Dragon". Is the Dragon friend, foe, or just another bounty for Tyrus to cash in on. Find out in this installment in the Galaxys Edge series.

More, please!

The awesome thing about the Galaxy's Edge tangent stories is not only do you get a great adventure to listen to, you also get all kinds of information that enhances the main series, without any redundancy or retreads. You don't even realize you've expanded your knowledge of GE until the next time you listen to it. You think you're familiar with the story and suddenly it's in 4K now. Makes you wonder where the hell was my head at when I listened to this last time?! Wow. So much more vivid. Scenes that were no big deal take on weight and significance and characters that faded into the background are stepping off the page. Pretty amazing writing if you ask me.

So, besides that subtle bonus, you also get a _great_ story in Chasing the Dragon. The second installment of the Tyrus Rechs mini series is a well rounded action adventure that takes place on the reclusive Sinasian worlds at the galaxy's edge. Beautiful locales, exotic tech, interesting bots, kick ass fighting and more insight into the life and experiences of the long lived warrior. Oh! And excellent narration too. I wish there was a third installment about this fascinating character.

Starts Strong Then Fades

Starts strong, carries the load even though the story is interrupted by flashbacks whose characters are only hinted at. At the end, the story detours into maudlin inanities. Ending is kinda contrived. Narrator was a trip, it sounded like he hadn't really rehearsed the narration so there was a touch of WTF and NS in his voice. His enthusiasm was kinda infectious and made the story sound more compelling than it was!

Better than Requiem for Medusa

I really liked Requiem for Medusa, but I thought this was even better. Also, RC Bray is the man, but Ray Porter does a damn fine job with the Tyrus stories. Well done!
