Synopsis: The first novel in the Dragonback series is &“a romp of a space thriller&” (Booklist) from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn. Jack Morgan is dealing with more trouble than any young man deserves. Raised to be a professional thief and con artist by his late uncle Virgil, he&’s survived on his uncle&’s spaceship with the help of an AI program. But when he&’s accused of a crime he actually didn&’t commit, Jack is forced to flee to a remote, uninhabited planet where he can stay off the radar for a while. His solitude is soon interrupted when a ship crashes on Jack&’s hideout after a terrible space battle. There&’s only one survivor: a warrior called Draycos, whose reptilian race is being targeted for extinction. The good news is that if Jack helps Draycos, the odd creature might be able to help clear Jack&’s name. The not-so-good news is that to survive, Draycos must bond—physically and mentally—with a sentient being to use as his &“host.&” And it looks like Jack is the only sentient being around . . .
