The Dream Rider 2: Retribution
by Ernest Dempsey
Belief Can Change Everything
Something is very wrong. Just weeks after returning from his heroic triumph on the alien world of Sideros, Finn McClaren senses something is amiss. His proxy, Sam has disappeared, and communication with the alien queen, Nela, has been cut off. When he finds one of his professors murdered, he is thrown into a battle of life and death with a mysterious assassin.
Finn wakes up, and finds himself on the other side of the galaxy once more. This time, his friend Nate has accidentally come with him. The two find Sideros in a state of marshall law. The dead emperor’s right hand, Jari, escaped the rebellion and built an army of robots and men that overran the Siderians to reclaim the planet as his own.
The Siderians established a base of operations deep within a mountain, but time is running out. Jari’s forces have laid siege to the little resistance and soon, all hope will be lost, unless a hero comes to save them.
Finn’s journey leads him to the discovery of a powerful weapon known as the black orb. If he can fight his way through an ancient evil, and learn a deep truth about himself, the orb may just be the thing they need to win the war.
The Dream Rider 2 proves that sometimes, a sequel can be even better than a great original.
Reviews
“One of the most exciting science fiction/fantasy books I have ever read.” –Award Winning Writer/Editor Jason Whited
“…this book grabbed me from the start and I couldn’t put it down. There are several scenes where I was holding my breath to see what would happen next. And the main character showed kindness toward a land dragon that almost brought tears to my eyes. Likable characters and a great storyteller in Mr. Dempsey make this book one I would highly recommend.” –5 Star Amazon Review
