Dragon Friend (The Complete 3 Book Arthurian Fantasy Adventure Series)

Join Leonard in this action-packed, magic-filled, 3 book series. Watch as he befriends dragons, battles giants and monsters, and clashes with an evil secret society of dark wizards and witches who want to destroy Leonard's family and everyone else he cares about!

This new 3 book collection contains the following Dragon Friend novels:

Dragon Friend is an epic YA Arthurian fantasy novel sure to delight readers with its unique blend of magic, dragons, and irreverent humor. When the fate of Camelot rests in the hands of a lowly page, Leonard, he embarks on a daring quest to find the legendary wizard, Merlin, and rescue King Arthur from imprisonment. As he navigates a dangerous world of hungry monsters, wicked villains, and grumpy dragons, Leonard must use his wits to restore peace and honor to Camelot.

In Giant Killer, Leonard continues his daring adventures on an all-new, danger-filled quest. Made a Knight of Camelot by King Arthur himself, young Leonard enjoys a life of peace and prosperity in the Green Valley. He deserves it after all he went through in Dragon Friend. But has he gotten lazy and let his guard down? The answer to that question smacks Leonard hard in the face when his beloved Glennys is kidnapped by a cruel giant and taken to a mysterious kingdom in the clouds. Leonard calls on his old friends Merlin, Hubert, Ham, and a new friend, a young dragon named Taddy, to join him on this desperate rescue mission. Can this unlikely group of heroes save Glennys in time? Follow their path as they face giant-sized forces of evil and discover the awesome powers of bravery and friendship.

Elven King is Leonard's most daring and exciting adventure yet. A battle of epic proportions awaits our hero as he and his allies rush to save the notorious Claws Crimson. Lord Crimson is the much-feared ruler of the mysterious Dark Elves and Leonard's own grandfather! But wait. Isn't the old elf a cruel and dangerous warlord? Why should he help someone as awful as that? Merlin assures Leonard that his grandfather isn't evil, just, uh...misunderstood. As Leonard and his friends travel through the dangerous worlds of Viking mythology, the stakes grow ever higher, and now Leonard must fight to not only save his grandfather's kingdom, but the family he never knew he had.

Ghost Star: The Excerpt

 

Thought I'd share a brief excerpt from Ghost Star. In this scene, our hero Galen discovers his mortal enemy, Lord Mohk, has a little problem with his spacecraft...

GHOST STAR Excerpt

Ghost Star (Ghost Star Adventures Book 1)
by Roger Eschbacher

**

Galen squinted at the massive vessel before them. A strange sparkling stream trailed behind it. “That’s weird.”

“What is?” said Eria, glancing up from her weapons display. “Oh, that is weird. Some kind of gas?”

“The vessel is venting fuel from one of its rear engines,” said Lancer Bartrice.

“Why would they do that?” said Galen.

“It is my guess the engine was damaged during the encounter with the gas giant that crushed its sister ship,” said Lancer Bartrice.

Galen shook his head. “They tripped all the way here with a fuel leak? That’s insane!”

“That’s Mohk,” said Eria.

“Magnifying.” Lancer Bartrice zoomed in on the Lingering Death’s gigantic rear engine array. An assortment of repair craft and bots hovered around a sizable rupture in the vessel’s stern. A steady torrent of sparkling fuel poured out of the crack in the ship’s skin. The small army of bots clinging to the Lingering Death’s exterior were attempting a repair with a large armor plate. “They’re trying to fix it,” said Galen, hope rising in his chest. “Using a mag plate.”

“So?” said Eria.

“No vacuum welding, see? No flame.”

“Ohhhh!”

Lancer Bartrice shuddered violently when a missile exploded behind them.

“Snat!” said Eria, bringing up the munitions inventory on her vidscreen. Toward the bottom of the mostly empty list was a single nuke-level explosive device. “Oh, yes. That will do nicely. Get me over there.”

Galen zeroed in on the fuel-venting engine. He brought Lancer Bartrice closer, and the portside batteries of the damaged ship dutifully opened fire. Galen dodged it the best he could, but the defensive fire repeatedly came close to taking out the nimble Lancer Bartrice altogether. The exploding ordnance buffeted them around like a hover kite.

“Something tells me they don’t want to play,” murmured Eria.

Galen grunted. I wonder why?

A direct hit from an Imp boltfire battery temporarily blinded Galen, ghosting his vision with a bright flash that almost knocked Lancer Bartrice out of commission. Every electronic system on the ship briefly flashed off, and the engine cycled down before, thankfully, everything came back online again.

“We can’t take any more hits,” said Lancer Bartrice, who sounded groggy.

“I hear you,” said Galen. “We’re almost there.”

He guided Lancer Bartrice under the massive battle cruiser, hugging the vessel’s hull. The arcs mirrored his flight path and kept up their relentless assault from behind.

Galen pulled up hard, following the curve of the hull as it transitioned from keel to broadside. “Ready, Eria?”

“You have no idea how ready I am.”

Galen broke free of the Lingering Death’s hull and did a barrel roll directly over the venting fuel. “Now!” shouted Galen.

Eria calmly slid her finger over the weapons vidscreen, and a small egglike package, no bigger than a bandyball, shot out from one of the gun ports and made a graceful, tumbling arc toward the Lingering Death.

“Enjoy, my Lord Mohk,” said Eria.

Galen banked violently and leaned on the throttle, knowing he had only a few brief moments to put as much distance as possible between them and the biggest time bomb in the Rex Cloud.

A horrific flash filled the cockpit, and then, for Galen, there was nothing at all.

DRAGONFRIEND: The Audiobook

If you enjoy a good fantasy read, chances are you'll enjoy a good fantasy listen, too.

Allow me to suggest Dragonfriend: Leonard the Great, Book One, read by gifted narrator Bobby Gaglini, is an excellent listen.

Now available as an audiobook on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes, Dragonfriend tells the action-packed story of a boy and his man-eating dragon.

A brief description...

If you think it's all good deeds and stuffy politeness over at Camelot, you're wrong! Most people don't know this, but things are pretty bad right now. King Arthur's in jail, Merlin's gone missing, and there's a cruel demon in charge. Seriously! Now it's up to young Leonard, a page to a poor but kind knight, to set things right - even if that means going on a dangerous quest, outsmarting hungry monsters, or risking his life to make friends with a bunch of grumpy dragons. Filled with magic, dragons, and irreverent humor, Dragonfriend is an epic YA Arthurian fantasy novel in the spirit of The Princess Bride, The Sword in the Stone, and Excalibur.

Praise for Dragonfriend: Leonard the Great, Book One (Kindle Edition):

"A wonderfully written side story to the Arthurian legend with never-considered twists, fun details and tremendous heart. Leonard is a marvelous hero-in-the-making and Mantooth is the first dragon in along time who really deserves a hug." -- Carolyn Hennesy, Author of the Pandora series

"Dragonfriend starts with a chuckle then quickly develops into a brave quest, climaxing in a truly epic battle between knights, dragons and fiends from Hell. Honestly, what more could you want?" -- Keith Robinson, Author of the Island of Fog Series

"DRAGONFRIEND is a feisty, fresh take on turning a lowly page into a full-blown hero." -- Brian Clopper, Author, The Powers That Flee and Ghost Coast

Dragonfriend: Leonard the Great, Book One

Busy Busy Busy!

Been super busy the past couple of weeks. I finished the “final” edit of the Elvenking: Leonard the Great, Book 3 manuscript ("final" is in quotes because, as my fellow authors know, you're never really finished). Now formatting/reformatting the interior of all three books in the series with a new design template from Book Design Templates - it's super easy to use and looks great.

New covers for Dragonfriend, Giantkiller AND Elvenking should be here by the end of the month. Exciting (for me, anyway)!

Waiting in the wings: Full novel version of Undrastormur and completion of the first draft of Ghost Star 2 (don't have a name for that one yet)!  Doing my best to stay positive and make this crazy year as productive as possible! #fantasy #scifi #author
