Overview
The Dragonships series pairs a war-scarred Mars with dragon-riding destiny, following orphaned survivor Lunar Jones as legend collides with reality. In The Last Dragon on Mars, a scavenging mission gone wrong leads Lunar to a dragon unlike any he imagined, and their bond becomes a beacon of hope. The Rise of Neptune carries the adventure forward through treacherous new alliances and skyward stakes. Written by New York Times bestselling author Scott Reintgen, this two-book paperback set fuses science fiction with dragon fantasy for adventurous middle-grade readers who love fast-paced, character-driven stories.

About the Books
This collection follows Lunar Jones, a resourceful orphan scraping by on a hardscrabble, war-torn Mars where dragons are the stuff of old stories. When a routine scavenging run turns dangerous, Lunar comes face to face with a dragon that changes everything he thought he knew about his world, forging a partnership built on trust and courage. The Last Dragon on Mars introduces this scrappy survival setting with brisk pacing and a big emotional core, balancing the harsh realities of frontier life with the wonder of dragon lore. The Rise of Neptune continues Lunar's journey as he and his allies navigate shifting loyalties, sky-bound peril, and the widening scope of a world where dragons and colonists share an uncertain future. Across both books, Scott Reintgen builds a distinctive blend of grounded science fiction and soaring fantasy, anchored by themes of loyalty, resilience, and found family. Fans of dragon-rider stories and space-colony adventures will recognize the DNA of favorites like Eragon and Skandar in the series' mix of danger, bonding, and world-building ambition. Presented together in matching brand-new paperback editions, this set offers a satisfying, chapter-by-chapter continuation of Lunar's arc, making it easy for young readers to move straight from the first mission on Mars into the next stage of his dragon-riding journey without waiting between books. Both books carry the same trim size and page-turning momentum, so the set slots neatly onto a shelf as one continuous saga rather than two unrelated purchases.
