Talker 25 Joshua McCune Books

I couldn't put this book down! In the future, the Earth has been invaded by dragons. In the initial invasion, 80 million died. The Earth forces mobilized and now, fifteen years later, have the upper hand. They have learned a lot about the dragons including that they can't see black. Melissa Callahan lives in a military base on the outskirts of a reservation of blue dragons. Her father is a high ranking military officer who does research on the dragons. Her mother was killed in Arlington in a dragon attack. Melissa hates dragons but finds herself one evening riding shotgun when her best friend's date takes them to the reservation to take a picture with dragons.

Melissa is frightened and even more frightened when the dragon seems to talk to her. When the dragons break out of the reservation and attack the base, Melissa is surprised to be rescued by one of the boys from the date who is riding a dragon. There is a group of humans, many of them able to talk to the dragons, who are opposed to the government's goal of wiping out all dragons. Melissa meets some of these people and learns that her mother was a member of this insurgency. She also learns that she can talk to dragons and meets a baby silver dragon.

She and the baby dragon are captured by the military. Melissa is fitted with a crown that keeps her from communicating with dragons, lets the military read her thoughts, and is able to send electric shocks to punish her if she doesn't follow directions. She is taken to a secret base in Antarctica where the military is experimenting on the dragons they catch. They are also using the talkers to locate hidden dragons and control dragons who are being used to keep the war alive and further the military's agenda.

There aren't any good guys in this one. The military isn't willing to admit that all dragons are not evil and they are doing evil things - including torturing and brainwashing minor US citizens - to further their own agenda.

The things that happened in this story sometimes made it hard to read. Sometimes they even made me feel sick. I felt so sorry for Melissa and for the dragon she called Baby.

Talker 25 Joshua McCune Books Reviews

I had started out this book series reading the 2nd one first, but this one was equally good! I gave it a four because at times I had some issues with following the story, but it was very easy and quick to read!
Great story by an innovative author. Can't wait to read the next book.
I'm not usually one for dragons or writing reviews, but I'm trying to change my ways. I've been reading mostly romance novels for as long as I can remember. But, what can I say? Romance gets old. So, I've been dipping my toes into other pools of fantasy and came upon Talker 25. Being that I'm a sucker for a good cover, I thought I'd give it a shot. However, if the inside doesn't match the outside, I'm no longer hesitant to quit half way through a book. I don't believe in wasting time on poor writing and bad characters when there are so many other books to read.

Well, after that lengthy intro, I'll just say I am hooked. As others have said, there was violence and darkness. I sometimes wanted to close my eyes, but mostly there were characters I really grew to care about. The writing style was excellent. The dragons were awesome. I want to know what happens next!
What a wild ride. Fast-paced, fascinating alternate world, loved the depictions of dragons. I couldn't predict where the story was going next, which kept me turning pages. I can't wait to read the next one in the series. A good book to give Hunger Games fans.
I loved this book. The way the author wove disparate elements into a fast moving, character-driven story was both brilliant and original. Some of those elements include a malevolent faction within the government, control and manipulation of social media, dragons, and a young woman protagonist who along with her family are all swept up in an epic battle. The developing relationship between Melissa and the blue dragon was not only well done, but provided humorous and exciting scenes especially during their early flights. I cared about the characters and their struggles, and look forward to their next adventure.
