Gr 8 Up—In this dystopian thriller in which humans are pitted against dragons, Melissa Callahan has just escaped from a secret government facility where she was forced to kill dragons for a television show. She's hoping to recover in peace and quiet, but a group of rebels capture her friend Allie, forcing Melissa back into the fray. Elements from various popular dystopian franchises combine in this mix of science fiction and fantasy. Purchase where the first book has fans.
When Allie, a young talker able to communicate with many dragons at once, is kidnapped by terrorists who use dragons to attack humans, Melissa goes undercover to rescue her, but the atrocities she's forced to commit strain her humanity. Less thematically focused than Talker 25, this fast-moving sequel develops an intriguing, though doomed, love triangle and raises questions about the use of violence.
