I have several books on my TBR related to dragons including: James Rollins epic Moon Fall trilogy, Samantha Shannon's Root of Chaos, Richard Knaak's Omnibus Legends of the Dragonrealm, and others. Including Stephen King.

Bronson Pinchot (remember the tv show Perfect Strangers back in the 90's) is the narrator of the audiobook. I'll let you now how it turns out.
