About this ebook
Set in the not-too-distant future, Baxter Auriga is set with the task of collecting a live specimen dragon for sending to a private zoo. That, believe it or not, was the easy part.
Escaping from the police patrolling the restricted zones is a little more tricky. Fighting off pirates isn't a walk in the park either.
Getting dropped onto a penal colony at the back of beyond, forced into the dragon fights and trying to stay alive ... well ... it goes without saying. But when the dragon Bax caught refuses to fight and wants to be taken home, now it's just got really hard.
A satirical look at the future of space travel, technology and genetic engineering, this laugh-out-loud adventure sees cutthroat battles with salvage pirates, incredible action in the dragon arena, and the opening salvo to interplanetary war.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"Exciting, Adventuresome; complete with nasty villains and a stout-hearted dragon! Racing Dragons is a thrill ride that reminds us that some things are not for the taking. With regard to character development, scene setting, and storytelling, Todd Burnett has achieved an exciting story which is well crafted and nicely written. Bax and his dragon along with their few friends are the kind of characters you want to know. What stands out for me is the simple moral of the story. Racing Dragons reminds us that some things are not for the taking. Some things are better left alone. I'd recommend Racing Dragons to anybody who likes a good thrill ride and very likeable characters. I recommend with 5 stars." --D.L.
"Near non-stop action with a firm dollop of sarcastic whimsy, Todd Burnett's Racing Dragons is fun and adventure and I couldn't put it down! Breathless to see how the tangled mess would turn out, I was delighted! *****" --D.R.
