About this listen

A boy living on Mars unexpectedly becomes a dragon rider in this first book in the sci-fi and fantasy mash-up The Dragonships series, sure to delight fans of Skandar and Eragon.

Keep your eyes down and your feet moving, or this planet will rust you.

That’s what Lunar Jones tells the other kids at the relocation clinic. All of them were born on Mars, a planet that never wanted people in the first place. With resources scarce and hope even scarcer, it’s easy to get distracted looking up. After all, their ancestors descended from the stars.

Martian history always starts with Earth. The first astronauts discovered that space was already occupied. Not by little green men or flying saucers. It was full of dragons. One for every moon, every planet, every star. When humanity discovered that Earth’s dragon had sacrificed herself to make their home planet habitable, they set their sights on Mars. If one dead dragon could breathe life into a world, why not create another one? Mankind won the war that followed, but with one catch. As the dragon died, he whispered a curse over Mars. The first settlers found their crops wouldn’t grow. Animals hunted them. Storms raged endlessly. It took three generations to figure out the truth: Mars was doomed.

Lunar knows all the old stories about dragons and space, but no one up there’s planning to help him or his crew. Instead, he focuses on scrapping valuable gear that the storms uncover in the war zone. Until one day, a salvaging run goes wrong. Desperate to find shelter, Lunar goes underground in a restricted zone. What he finds there, buried in the Martian dust, might just be the only hope left for a dying planet.

A Fresh Daring Adventure

Dragons & Si-Fi?! Who knew these two things could meld together to form such an interesting story?! Well, the author most certainly did :) The Last Dragon on Mars is a pleasantly surprising & entertaining tale of what I hope is one of the best dragon series of the modern age. I read it as a preview for my little sister & absolutely enjoyed it. It’s fast paced storytelling keeps you engaged & ready for what happens next. I can’t wait for the second book 10/10

Incredible story for everyone in the family

I’m an adult who reads all types of fantasy, and I can confidently say I truly enjoyed The Last Dragon on Mars.

It has a middle grade target audience (and it’s definitely age appropriate) but I also think young adults and adults will love this book too. It has compelling characters with unique bonds and flaws and strengths that all drive a truly imaginative plot forward. The world building is amazing. There are really surprising plot twists and the ending is perfect! Such a refreshing read/listen! Someone start making a tv/film adaptation, please!

I’d recommend this book for any parent looking for a book for their middle grade child. If you are looking for a new book for your child who loved Percy Jackson, then this is definitely the one I would recommend you get them. They will LOVE the familiarity (combined with the fact it has dragons and space and planets!!).

I can’t wait for the second book - Scott Reintgen always delivers fantastic stories so if you’ve read and enjoyed his other stories then consider this another gem.

For all the audiobook listeners out there, Landon Woodson’s performance is exceptional. He does really great character voices and makes the dragons feel so real you can almost see them.

Five stars all around!
