Product Description
From Booklist
At the close of The Dragon DelaSangre (2002), dragon Peter DelaSangre had just seen his wife, Elizabeth, killed, but was able to save their child, Henri. Four years later, Henri is a precocious, adventurous child, and Peter is thinking about remarrying. The woman he wants is none other than Elizabeth's younger sister, Chloe, who is about to come of age. Peter and Henri journey to Jamaica, where Peter hopes to find Chloe and claim her as his bride. When it finally comes time for Chloe to take a mate, Peter rushes to her side, but she initially rebuffs him. Undeterred, Peter continues to pursue her until she gives in to her feelings for him. (Her family is none too pleased when they discover her choice.) Peter assumes all obstacles to marital bliss are behind him, but a shocking betrayal puts his fortune and life--and his son's--in jeopardy. Despite a slow start, the novel picks up speed when the odds against Peter stack up. A rousing adventure tale worthy of its predecessor. Kristine Huntley

This review is from: Dragon Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
Review by Lynn Nicole LouisDragon Moon is the second book in Alan F. Troop's dragon series. Last May I posted a review of Troop's first book, The Dragon DeLasangre. Although well-written, I was left thinking that it fell short because of its totally (for me) unsympathetic and unlikeable main character Peter DeLasangre. I concluded, however, that Troop had enough potential for me to pick up his next. Well I did, and after finishing Dragon Moon I'm left feeling the same way I felt after finishing the first.... ...After a slow start, the action picks up and stays high. The writing, except for all the 'ing' verbs, is smooth and vivid. The characters are well-developed. It's unfortunate that they developed into characters I have no interest in reading about. Having unlikeable, even evil, main characters can work, but there must be some aspect of sympathy present, or something for the reader to identify with. I'll recommend this with the same caveat that I used to recommend the first: if you liked Anne Rice's Vampire books, there's a good chance you'll like this, even though (IMO) Troop's characters lack the human element that made Rice's vampires sympathetic and interesting. After finishing Dragon Moon my disinterest in Peter DeLasangre and the rest of the dragon characters remains. I'll read another Troop book because I like his writing, but I'm going to pass on any future books in his dragon series. Lynn Nicole Louis

Finally something new and original,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dragon Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
DRAGON MOON is a must read. Even if it is not a book that you would normally read - give it a try. This book is like no other I have read. The hero of this book is non-human and thinks of homo sapiens as food; however, you can't help but fall in love with Peter. He is a dragon who has faced many of the hardships that we face today. You cannot help but admire the man who loves his son so much even though is another species. I never read the first book and I look forward to reading it and many more Alan Troop books. There is a lot of action and suspense in DRAGON MOON but it is the characters that will win the hearts of the reader. Alan F. Troop does for dragons what Ann Rice has done for vampires.

AWSOME!,

This review is from: Dragon Moon (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was wonderful! I bought it while I was down in Springfeild at a horse show and had already finished my other book. I was originaly looking for something else, but Dragon Moon had caught my eye. When i bought it, it was only minutes before i had my nose buried inside the book. I couldnt put it down. I almost missed one of my classes because i wouldnt stop reading it. I wasnt sure at first if i would like it, because im more of a Vampire person. I espically like Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. But this book is awsome!. I didnt read the first one, but now im going to have to!
