On a desolate beach in far northern Scotland, the winter storms have been washing up all manner of things since time began. But buried in the centre of one smaller iceberg is a shard of ancient Viking pottery telling a partial tale of a hidden mysterious island beyond the ice and mist, that was home to a great treasure and even greater horrors. Thawing in the same block of ice was a rotting flap of skin that refused to be identified but had similar skin patterns to a creature not seen for 100 million years.

When struggling riverboat captain Abner Marsh receives an offer of partnership from a wealthy aristocrat, he suspects something’s amiss. But when he meets the hauntingly pale, steely-eyed Joshua York, he is certain. For York doesn’t care that the icy winter of 1857 has wiped out all but one of Marsh’s dilapidated fleet. Nor does he care that he won’t earn back his investment in a decade. York has his own reasons for wanting to traverse the powerful Mississippi. And they are to be none of Marsh’s concern - no matter how bizarre, arbitrary, or capricious his actions may prove.

Publisher's Summary
Ammon's job was simple, to care for the dragon eggs in the Nest. It should have been easy, but it wasn't. When the sun rose after the hatch, he had made an enemy of the most powerful man in the kingdom, and he would soon learn that was the least of his problems!

Heros also do bad things
Would you consider the audio edition of Hatch to be better than the print version?
I never read the printed version but I wouldn't need to read it with the performance of Tim Bruce.
What other book might you compare Hatch to and why?
Well, I could have given it another book similar but it wouldn't do it justice. I believe Hatch would be a stand alone book. you can't compare the righteous hero in hatch with the selfishness of the other books character. even if the character in the other book finally coming around at the end.
What does Tim Bruce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Tim was perfect for this book. all characters were geared for his brand of action.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
nope but it raised my blood pressure of few times.
Any additional comments?
I would love to see a book two in this trilogy.

A wonderful find!
An excellent book. I was so pleased with this one. From the first chapter I knew I was going to like the entire work. Though most of the events are rather predictable, it was still a fun listen. The names of the characters, places, and other object were easy to remember yet still had an air of mystery. The only thing I wasn't overly ecstatic about was that the dragons were only grey and black, except the main character's gold dragon Folgid. I also wish the dragons could talk to the humans in the story. The only dragon to speak is Folgid, and only a few words. Still, I can wait until the second book comes out sometime this year. Stevens has revealed that it will be Forging of Bonds....hopefully it comes out soon.

Fun for a family trip, and good for all ages.
What did you like best about Hatch? What did you like least?
The second half of the book was much more interesting. This is more of a fairy tail than a book, or series.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The good guys won (for now), but nothing surprising or new.
What about Tim Bruce’s performance did you like?
Though he did a great job, very clear and did make me pass out or sleepy.
Could you see Hatch being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No, there are other books with much better story lines and characters.
Any additional comments?
This was worth the money, and a nice way to enjoy a trip with family.

Just Cuz you carry a Sword ....Young Adult/Kids
Story: Basic Boy Meets Dragon and world and grows up.
Review: This is a bit like the Black Cauldron. You expect things to work out and they generally do. I was surprised at the lack of killing in the story, all these fights where they are trying to kill the main character or his dragon friend and no one dies..a little silly that. All in all an engaging story, esp if you aren't a tactics person or too focused on the details.
Writing:
The story is flow is pretty consistent, there were a few jumps where I felt the editor cut something or it was missing a transition.

A VERY GOOD LISTEN!
I really liked this book. It began a little dodgey. I don't want to give any spoilers so let's say, it began with a plot line that is very familiar if you read a lot of fantasy. However after this plays itself out, this book takes a 180 and is a "must read to the end at once" after that.
My only disappointment was it isn't a Series. The book ends with a very satisfactory ending and in the perfect way to continue this as Series... Perhaps the Authour or his publisher reads his reviews!! HINT, HINT

Simple but enjoyable
This is a very simple story with quite two dimensional character. The good guys are very good and the bad guys are all very bad with no grey areas whatsoever. The story is quite predictable too.
So why 5 stars? Well I've been having a really bad run of books lately and even the better fantasy books take so bloody long to get into. It's been really refreshing to just be able to get straight into the story and just enjoy it for what it is. It also made my shift at work go faster, which is always appreciated!
