Fossil fuels are gone.
Five years ago, hungry for energy and profits, the Union Forest Corporation embarked on an aggressive search for alternative power sources. In their quest they drilled too deeply, releasing a long-forgotten evil that’s been terrorizing the planet. As frightening as the dragon is, the executives at Union Forest are more terrified of losing corporate secrets than losing human lives. Somewhere in that drilling site, there’s a data core that they desperately want back.
After giving years of service to the military, Henry Morgan just wants a normal life. But between nagging feelings from his past and a strained relationship with his brother Rick, “normality” always feels just out of reach. When Henry learns that Rick is among the force of elite commandos sent by Union Forest to battle against the demon at the drilling site, he’s forced back into the roles of soldier and protective older sibling. He’ll do everything he can to save his brother...including risking his own life at the hands of a ruthless corporation.

A different sort of adventure

I really wanted to love this story, we have a crack military team and cyber expert facing off against an Apocalypse Dragon... A Dragon! And, seriously I laughed out loud when this group of grown, Macho-men-soldiers squealed like girls and ran away from Mutant Squirrels... But what this story really needed was an editor who wasn't nodding-off asleep over an empty coffee cup... an editor that would've pointed out that changing POV's is fine as long as that new POV isn't almost word for word, the same as the previous POV... an editor that would've pointed out that incessant repetition of keywords will drive a reader CrAzY !!!
A good editor would have dug this gem of a story out of rough matrix, but alas, such was just Not the case! Sad face...

The premises of this book were so interesting, but it failed to deliver. This is your typical classic dragon book but in a modern setting. The plot was well built, but I the character development was poor. There were constant POV changes, being the story told by both brothers alternatively. The problem here is that both characters sound exactly the same, talking and thinking, so I found it difficult and tiresome to follow the story and identify POV.
As in other military fiction books, there are many secondary characters, and if the main characters were not very developed, the secondary ones were just mere drafts, and I was not very moved when there were casualties.
I struggled to finish this book, since I wasn’t able to connect with the characters and I didn’t become very invested in the story. Another issue is the constant repetitions and reiterations. The book could have benefited from an editor and transformed in a more polished product.
Steve Campbell’s narration was correct. He did a wonderful job regarding character’s interpretations, but I would have preferred their different voice tones to be a bit more subtle. It felt a bit overdone, in my opinion.

Waking a dangerous monster

The narrator did a pretty good job. My only issue with him was the way he pronounced certain words. I have no clue why it bothered me so much but whenever he'd say words like "been" or "against" he pronounced them exactly how they were spelled, for example, "been" was pronounced as "bean." He sounded like he had an English accent so I don't know. Otherwise, he did a good job with the variety of voices/accents. I'd listen to him again.
Not My Cup of Tea

A Dragon story set in the present.

I also liked the fact that the Dragon didn't just show up and start tearing up the place. (Well, ok, it does in the prologue) but, there were other more malign monsters for the protagonists to fight. There were alternate dangers that made it feel like a fantasy world draped over a modern setting. The writing flowed and was easygoing. The story was well paced, and deserving of a sequel
Now, Campbell (who seems to also be breaking into the narrating business) does a great job. He conveys the emotions of the characters, drives home the desperation they feel, and conveys the dangers they face like he was in their place. You'd never know that he was just starting out.
I would say that Swenson and Campbell make a fine team, each bringing things to the table that helps to create a great modern fantasy tale. I just wish they hadn't beaten Ireland up so much.
Similar to Reign of Fire NOT!!
