Alta

Dragon Jousters Series, Book 2

By: Mercedes Lackey

Narrated by: Ryan Burke

Nationally best-selling fantasy legend Mercedes Lackey created a vivid, dynamic fusion of the Upper and Lower Kingdoms of ancient Egypt with the most exciting, authentic and believable portrayal of dragons ever imagined. In the second novel in Mercedes Lackey's richly conceived Dragon Jousters series, the dragonrider Vetch escapes to Alta, the subjugated land of his birth. There, he hopes to teach his people to raise and train dragons - and build an army that will liberate his homeland.

Great story but ridiculous accents

One of the best dragon series around. Horse whispering for dragons. Set in a clearly Egyptian based world the odd Scottish and English accents are very distracting.

a fitting addition

I could hardly wait for this, the 2nd in the series, to continue this captivating adventure. Now I am anxious to begin the next. Great fun and very imaginative.

Such a great series

love this series so much, and cant wait for the remainder to be released. This series is great for almost all ages

No 2 of Dragon Jousters Series

Vetch returns to the land of his birth, an area Mercedes Lackey has made very much like Earth's ancient Upper and Lower Egypt, only here "there be dragons. "
In Alta Fetch again finds life living with Dragon Jousters, but as an equal, not a serf. He refused to drug dragons into submission but searches for hawk and horse enthusiasts that try to bond with all the intelligence of each. They find that dragons can almost read their riders intentions.
Fetch also learns there is some process the mages are putting people through that drains the gifted population of their powers. He comes up with an idea to isolate a hatching and all needed to care for their growth but requires help of a top donor to support his ideas for both the new training ideas and examining the mages new efforts.
I found the added growth of many new plot ideas to add to the improvement of Alta!

Don't you...

I want a dragin too. An excellent part two plenty of twists and suprises to hold the reader in a finely detailed world.
