Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gary Darby grew up in San Antonio, Texas and started reading in the second grade when he discovered Robert Heinlein's Farmer In The Sky in the school library.

After that, it was on to the other Grand Masters of Science Fiction and Fantasy. A reader for all his life, he loves to find current authors who spin a great tale though he admits that every so often, he will treat himself to a good Andre Norton, or Asimov, or Heinlein novel.

In recent times, his love of reading turned to a love of writing and hopefully along the journey the crazy story ideas he has in his head will turn into enjoyable literary fiction for you to read.

For those that wondered about Gary's military experience after reading his military thriller, he joined the US Navy as a medic after high school. He ended his career as an officer in the US Army. He has a Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence from the National Intelligence University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dragons
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017

Very well written story. Dragons are beautiful, intelligent and loving. Female dragons and apparently whole nation of females you see later in story. Hooper come long way and will have more to travel. As long as he with golden wind nothing cannot be overcome. The relationship between Hooper and the dragons grow and between him and golden wind. People die and get saved. Read it if you love dragons as there's lots of them. Seems red color evil for some reason but I believe they can be saved once Wilders are defeated and they free the reds from Vea control. Dragons should not be used for war but rather companionship and love and wisdom. Read the book you like it or if not at least you gave it a try.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2nd volume in this series and highly recommend it. Even though I’m primarily a fan of the fantasy/sci-fi genre, I’m pretty sure that it would appeal to anyone that loves a good story. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the author is a personal friend and fellow pickleball enthusiast. I’m hoping that I will inherit the dragon tear gem of a new yellow dragon breed, which will bestow upon me pickleball super powers that will be used only for the good of all righteous beings in Hooper’s clan.

I have to admit it took me some time to get into this book. It was a little slow to start. That being said, by the end of the book, the main characters were beginning to feel more real and I had a vested interest in what happened to them. I especially liked how much the main character grew. The storyline was engaging and on the whole (after the initial slowness) a good read. It is important to note that in some cases to follow the plot you need to have read the first book in the series. Other than that I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to any lovers of dragons.

I enjoyed the fantastical journey that highlights virtues. It reminds me of a JRR Tolkien novel. It’s a fun journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncommon hero & beautiful Dragon
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2016

Hooper, the hero who doesn't want to be a hero, comes into his own. Golden Wind, the Dragon who knows the hero was inside him all the time. Being a self confessed dragon geek I was prepared for another "bad beach read" I was ready for another disappointing read. The typical good v evil with a few dragons folded in for good measure. I was wonderfully surprised by both books in this series. Love this story and can't wait for more!! Hurry up Hooper I need to know!

In this the second book of, "Hooper's Dragons" the team of heroes, with the Golden Dragon, find themselves in the land of giants. This intense adventure takes on more sinister villains in their fight for freedom. This series will keep a reader entranced. These are books that are hard to put down!

Surprises abound in the aftermath of an epic battle, but the road there is also frought with suprise, anger, hurt, betrayal and the realizations that life is sometimes at all what we perceive.

This book follows beautifully from the first. Continuing the journey and growth of Hooper.
New characters add to this world, new back information helps us understand motivations and the individuals.
Some joy, smoe sadness. But all in all a great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A captivating read...
Reviewed in Australia on April 26, 2017

A wonderful addition to the first installment of the series. Several more twists and turns as well as a loss that I wasn't expecting. Hooper's journey continues as he finds out more about the world and people around him, as well as his own past. I am glad to see that Darby is moving the relationships between characters along at a realistic pace still and not forcing cohesion between them. I am also glad to see that the author has pretty much stopped repeating himself within the story, which was a bit irritating in the first book. Though he could still find good use in a thesaurus, in my opinion, but the writing is still great. There is still so much more to explore with this world and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. Awesome work and a captivating read for anyone who enjoys a good fantasy, plot driven saga. Highly recommended!
