The Dragon Mage #10
Castaway Charlie
Murphy’s Law: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Charlie’s Law: Murphy was an optimist.
Trapped in a distant galaxy run by magic instead of technology? Check.
Kidnapped by space pirates and alien slave traders? Check.
Nearly eaten by wild dragons in gladiatorial combat? Check.
Locked in an interstellar war spanning galaxies? Check.
Charlie had faced it all, and yet somehow he and his friends had managed to come out on top. But now, at the peak of his powers, something new was coming over the horizon, and it was a threat the likes of which he’d never imagined.
Facing a desperate struggle against all odds, Charlie suddenly found himself forced to dig deeper than ever before, for it was not just his life on the line this time, but also those of his dearest friends. If he could somehow come out on top they would live to fight another day. Anything less would mean death. Or worse.

SURPRISE!!! A new Charlieverse book we weren't expecting!
Loved this book, love the series. The characters sound and act just like I remember them. But Charlie, his friends, and Mother Earth are in BIG trouble! This time it's for REAL! Who is the organiser behind all the aggressors? No one seems to know, but those few that do are willing to die for their silence. This is serious stuff, folks, and it is just the start.
I can't believe that this is book number ten in a series, as it feels just as fresh and exciting as the first. Charlie and his friends have been through so much between these pages. Everything is exactly what the reader expects from a Scott Baron book, wonderful worldbuilding, quality plot and storyline, strongly defined characters, and the author pressing every single button he can to get a reaction from the reader. Glorious!
I chose this book from a selection, which I then voluntarily read and honestly reviewed. All opinions are my own.

No Wilson here
Scott has continued his tradition of providing a satisfying story within his universe, making one laugh, cry out, and, well you have to read this one to find out what else

So Charlie and his extended team don't get much time to relax. Off to fight another bunch of nasties with their usual mix of extreme prejudice and sheer mayhem. The series continues and is still very, very readable!

ENJOY
Scott Baron ( besides having a kickass first name) is the most enjoyable writer that I have read in decades. Charlie The Dragon Mage puts him up there with Piers Anthony! Keep it up.

meh
A predictable story, as expected. The amusement is fading with the repetition. If food, it would be gas station food.
