Starry Dragon - Fantasy Dragon Figurine for Home Decor, Collectibles & Gifts | Perfect for Bookshelf Display, D&D Gaming & Fantasy Lovers

Lt. Commander Aden Pender, has ambitions for becoming a captain of his own space ship, and marrying the Queen's daughter. Those plans are thwarted when war is declared against his people. Their only salvation would be to find a ship, the Dragon, which had been lost for twenty years. Pender is given the responsibility of taking a hand-picked crew and finding the Dragon.The action in this book is very good, but what makes it even more interesting, is the growth of Aden Pender. He starts off as a business-minded officer lacking people skills, and becomes someone who learns to be thoughtful and compassionate. The side plot of Aden's love interest is also compelling. He begins with an attraction to a rather vain princess, and then discovers what love really is with a young woman officer named Tamsin Pavott. The relationship that develops between the two is really lovely, and it's refreshing that it has nothing to do with sex.Dragon of the Stars is a well-written story that is appealing on many levels. It has all the action of a space opera, but it also has depth with relationships and fascinating characters. This is a book that would appeal to readers who enjoy space operas.
