Descriere magazin:
A BIOTECH RACE AGAINST TIME TO DEVELOP MILITARY-GRADE DRAGONS. Brilliant genetic engineer Noah Parker is pitted head-to-head against the founder of Build-a-Dragon to design custom dragons for the military. Genetic engineer Noah Parker has at last landed the job he\'s long coveted: director of dragon design for the Build-A-Dragon Company. With a combination of genetic engineering and a cryptic device known as the Redwood Codex, he and his team can produce living, breathing dragons made-to-order. But sales of dragons have plummeted, and the Build-A-Dragon Company will have to find new revenue streams if it hopes to stay in business. A contract to develop dragons for the U.S. military promises a much-needed lifeline. Yet the specs are more challenging than anything Noah has ever designed. Worse, he learns that a shadow company headed by former CEO Robert Greaves has stolen the dragon-making technology to make a competing bid. Noah\'s dragons will face off against those of his old adversary. It\'s a head-to-head design competition, with the ethical future of domesticated dragons hanging in the balance. About Deploying Dragons: Full of thrilling invention and discovery and show-stealing dragons, this one is for every reader who\'s ever dreamed of riding or at least training their very own winged beast. --Library Journal A fast-paced and funny ride, this book will keep readers entertained. --Booklist About Domesticating Dragons: Koboldt delivers a funny and immersive look at the world of genetic engineering. . . . With characteristic verve, Koboldt contrasts the playful adventure plot with eerie dystopian setting and a searing examination of corporate greed and ambition. Fans of inventive speculative fiction are sure to be pleased. --Publishers Weekly It\'s entertaining, interesting, and Koboldt does a fantastic job of keeping the pace steady and consistent. All-in-all a fantastic, and definitely different, follow-up to his debut trilogy.

It\'s done right in Domesticating Dragons, with its geeky hero who saves the day, gets the girl and fulfills all of our dreams of dragons. --Reading Reality About Dan Koboldt: . . . very readable and highly enjoyable. . . .
