The Dragon's Back #2
My Brother's Keeper: The Dragon's Back - Trilogy Book 2
“MY BROTHER’S KEEPER” continues the exciting Christian Fantasy, “The Dragon’s Back” Trilogy, begun in “THE POISON OF THORNS” [Amazon Best Seller]. Here are bards, dragons, swords, and dark villains hiding in the shadows!
Living on a land shaped like a monstrous Dragon floating on a bottomless Sea, two brothers have chosen dramatically different paths to deal with the pain caused by watching the murder of their parents.
Kaleb, the eldest, has taken up thorns and sided with the black-robed Dragonmen and their gigantic Captain, Raven. Overcome by bitterness, he has vowed to exact vengeance and rescue his bother from the man he thinks is responsible for that crime, Nathan the Master Bard.
Jason, the younger sibling, is an apprentice to that same bard and has chosen to forsake the dark poison of the thorns and follow the teachings of the Great Gryphon and His Swimmer Son.
Out of their love for each other, both brothers seek with their entire beings to deliver their sibling from his chosen path. A violent conflagration of armed conflict is inevitable!
What other Christian authors are saying about "THE POISON OF THORNS, The Dragon's Back #1"
TRACY KRAUSS, bestselling author of "Play It Again" and "The Beat Goes On" says: "Book 1... reads somewhat like a Lewis, Tolkien or even a Rowling. Full of heraldry and lore in a make believe otherworld, this novel is full of action and adventure…Anyone who likes fantasy with an unapologetic Christian worldview should enjoy it."
ASHLEY WINTTERS ["Ashley Dawn"], author of "Shadows from the Past" and "Shadows of Suspicion" says: "This was a superbly written book. A good vs. evil that isn't too preachy but definitely has a spiritual overtone. The imagery the author used made you actually feel like you were a part of the book. The characters were very well developed and very likeable. I rate it a 5/5. If you get the chance, you should definitely read it and I'm ready for the second one!"

About the author
Robert Dennis Wilson
7 books22 followersRobert Dennis (Bob) Wilson is a bestselling author with nearly 40,000 book downloads, known for writing fast-paced Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels filled with spiritual warfare, Good-versus-Evil themes, and unexpected journeys. In Bob’s stories, the good guys always win in the end, but getting there is often anything but predictable. And in his Sci-Fi series, readers may sometimes find themselves wondering which side is truly good and which side is not.
Bob lives in Tulelake, California, just one mile south of the Oregon border, with his wife, Joyce, their elderly long-haired dapple Dachshund, and two rambunctious mixed-breed pups. Together, Bob and Joyce have four married children, seven grandsons, one granddaughter, and, most recently, a great-granddaughter, with their growing family scattered from coast to coast.
Beyond writing novels and poetry and being an avid reader, Bob is a singer-songwriter, scroll saw artist, and stone carver and sculptor. He has also developed a unique layered art form of his own. His lifelong passion for creativity extends far beyond writing.
Before becoming semi-retired, Bob spent 14 years working from home for an international transportation corporation, where he served as a Programmer, Report Designer, Technical Writer, and SharePoint Administrator. Both his professional career and creative pursuits have allowed him to remain in an environment he loves, one where imagination, problem-solving, and creativity can thrive.
Before meeting and marrying the beautiful love of his life, Bob earned a BABE Degree, Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Education, from Washington Bible College in Lanham, Maryland. During his college years, he also spent a summer in Israel, celebrating his 21st birthday on his first day in the Land.
Bob has served in various support roles for churches, missions, and para-church organizations. Several years ago, he also served as an interim pastor for a year and a half while the church searched for a younger man to take over the ministry. In Bob’s words, God provided a new pastor “beyond all we could have hoped for.”
Through his writing, art, music, faith, and lifelong love of creativity, Bob continues to create stories and works that reflect his imagination, his experiences, and his deep appreciation for the journey of life.

My Brother's Keeper, The Dragon's Back Book 2, picks up where Book 1, The Poison of Thorns left off. Through the frame-story of Pop Pop telling Justin and his friend Jenny the adventure of the brothers Kaleb and Jason in their high adventure in Dragonsback. The second book in a series usually presupposes the reader has all of the back story, Robert Dennis Wilson aids the reader with a detailed set of appendices as he did with book 1.
The brothers have teamed up with opposing teams, Dragonmen and Swimmers. Against the detailed backdrop of a rich culture, the drama plays out. The story progresses with two brothers seeking a similar end but through wholly different means.
Well-written, this story uses tension with richly developed characters to exemplify a lesson on forgiveness, the Christian themes are undeniable. Thus this book is recommended for anyone who enjoys Christian Fantasy high adventure, they will not be disappointed.

Another interesting book about life on the Dragon's Back. The only disappointing thing about this book, is that the final of the trilogy hasn't been released yet. Can't wait.

Great second tale! Justin and Jenny are up against good vs. evil (dragonmen). Great mix of paranormal and christian values. WaAR
