Firedrake Volume 1 Kindle Edition

by T. Mike McCurley (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 32
See all formats and editions
In 1963, human beings began to Emerge - to develop abilities far beyond the human norm. Some were born twisted or in shapes once thought fantastic. Among that number is one Francis Drake, born in the form of a humanoid dragon. Following an abusive childhood and an adolescence spent as a fugitive, Drake has been pressed into the employ of the United States Department of Justice - Metahuman Response Division. Serving a citizenry that often recoils from the mere sight of him, Drake is called upon when law enforcement encounters one of the Emerged - the "geneboosters".

The Adventures of Jericho Sims stem from long-ago discussions and have at last seen the light of day!

Paranormal and supernatural events and creatures assail him on all fronts, and Jericho finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a world he never knew existed.

A nice snack sized story. The main character is your basic bruiser with more depth than he lets others see.

One caveat. I read this for free via Kindle Unlimited. If you are doing so as well I recommend the book. Otherwise 176 pages@$2.99 is a little steep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Might look like a Dragon but an awfully Good (and entertaining) man
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014
I really enjoyed this story and especially how the main character, despite his less than human appearance and a bit cranky demeanor, came across as more human than many of the norms. Loved his interactions with "Monster" and hoping to see more in future stories. I'm also hoping to see him get some good friends despite himself. I suspect anyone wanting to be his friend will need to drag him to the friendship but I'm hoping he's already shown some of the characters from Book 1 (many of whom I really want to see again) that he would be worth the work.
I'm off another entertaining time reading Book 2.
