Publisher's Summary

Kristen Hall grew up a human - but she's not. She's a dragon.

And dragonkind will never be the same.

She's achieved some mastery over her powers and even defeated an enemy dragon.

But nothing she has done has prepared her for what's coming next. Kristen has been invited to join Dragon SWAT - a force of dragons which serves to keep order among their species. But not every dragon is happy with the status quo; some see humanity as a threat which should be eliminated. They're not alone. A growing number of humans feel the same about the dragons.

Forces are moving in the world to bring both races into a final conflict. The prize? Survival of their species and control of the Earth.

Powerful humans and dragons are playing chess with the future of the world. But Kristen was a piece none of these beings anticipated. She could swing the balance of power in either direction.

The Steel Dragon has plans of her own, though. Armed with the sense of honor instilled in her by her human parents, she's going to have to dig to the bottom of the mysteries at play if she hopes to have even the smallest chance of averting a catastrophic war!

GAG WORTHY, A WASTE OF $$$ & TIME

I would say this book is laughably inept if it were not SO BAD!!! Anderle and McLaughlin are PUH-THET-TIC wanna be authors!!! If you are SWAT, Marine Corps, or Former Marine or LEO, do not read any book in this series!! It is freekin embarrassing! ZERO PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS, and ANY member of, or small unit combat team would NEVER work with a team member like this main character. Secondly, no team on this planet would go to the field with a team member that acts like a highschool varsity quarterback! When Command forced someone like that on my Squad, we ensured they had a training accident that prevented them from be assigned to our missions! And they tactics used by the teams in this series is just so unrealistic and ignorant that for the authors to use them in any scenario, even magical, fantasy scenarios, is unbelievable that common sense didnt slap them upside the head and say, “Hey, you are an idiot! Do not write that!” I can not stomach any more of this trash!

Enjoyable listen

Kristen is coming into her powers more and she's joined Dragon SWAT but is dismayed to find out she has to work in the records department for a while (up to 5 years) before she can join in on the action, but Kristen being Kristen, she's having none of that.

There's not one, but 2 baddies after her this time and there's plenty of action throughout the book.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, although Kristen is sometimes a whiny brat (a lot less than she was in the first book) she's starting to rely on others to help her rather than doing everything herself in an attempt to 'save' her friends, and think things through before jumping into the fire. She still has some growing up to do.
