About A WRECK OF DRAGONS in Elaine's Words
I am thrilled to announce the launch of A Wreck of Dragons! This young adult science fiction novel could be described as "Pacific Rim" meets "How to Train your Dragon." Author Julie E. Czerneda, called it, "A stellar work of science fiction!" And fellow New Hampshire SF author R.W.W. Greene said it was "a gut punch to the mecha v. kaiju genre."
We’re not animals
working on instinct; we’re not machines, just running programs. We choose.
That, more than anything else, is what makes us human. I’m trying real hard to
make the right choice.
With his giant
robot, Norgay, orphaned teen Johari leads a team of scouts to find a new planet
for mankind. The next prospect has it
all: a great climate, nearly perfect
air, and no signs of civilization. As the
team dives in for their inspection, Johari's best friend risks exposure to the
alien world to claim biological samples that might be the salvation of their
own species. Then the sample he shatters draws the wrath of angry, flying
reptiles, and his own robot companion sacrifices itself to shield the fragile
humans.
Johari races to
save his friend and raise one of their precious bots from beneath an alien
sea—only to find he's being hunted by dragons.
As he's cast into a world of doubts, Johari suspects that these monsters
are more than they seem. Will he claim a
new world for mankind—and allow them to destroy their own humanity?
Johari stared
down the barrel of the gun, standing between humanity and their future. All he
had to do was die.
