The Confliction – The Dragoneers Saga Book III –
Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of A Book and A Dish, Think With Your
Taste Buds and Stir, Laugh, Repeat
Jenka started looking at a charcoal sketch of a
Sarax, with marks and carefully written text detailing sensitive and
dangerous parts of the thing’s strange body. Then he saw something else
and pointed it out to Lemmy. He was showing Lem a drawing of a bee’s
honeycomb full of little tiny Sarax. The queen was larger, ten times as
large as the Sarax. It was bulkier, too, formed like a larva, or a
giant grub, with several long snaking limbs on each side of an elongated
torso. I wonder if they really follow that thing, said Lemmy,
as he took the parchment to study it closer. Jenka’s mind had moved
on. He was searching for anything else they could use to more
effectively destroy the beasts. He found a small wooden chest and
forced it open with a sealing blade. Inside were several hundred golden
coins with a strange feline animal on one side and two lines with a
slash through them on the other. He wondered, for a long time, from
where they had come. Then he pondered where the Sarax had come from and
a certain fear of the unknown began to creep into him like a chill.
Jenka, Aikira, Zahrellion, Rikky and Marcherion,
along with their dragon mounts, are all dragoneers. In books I and II,
they have survived the Gravelbone and his magic as he waged war on their
land. Through their own magic they have survived the threats of the
Sarax that had escaped from their star ship. It was now their duty to
guard the ship in hopes of preventing other Sarax from escaping.
But the Sarax was just the first metamorphosis
stage of these aliens. They fed upon human met which gave them the
strength to cocoon and later change into foul ivory-horned vermin
masters like Gravelbone. After becoming aware of this, the dragoneers
found themselves being faced with the threat that there was something
even more powerful than the Sarax. With this knowledge also came the
knowledge that the other being would be many times more powerful than
the Sarax and the Gravelbones combined. Then came their job to destroy
this being before it destroyed them as well as the people they have
vowed to protect. But can they succeed before it’s too late. And will
they all survive? The chances look pretty slim.
I’ve read all three of the Dragoneer books and as
each came to an end I looked forward to the next. When I saw that this
was the last book I felt a bit of disappointment. That is until I read
the last line of the book telling me an new book and I hope series will
be coming out in 2013. I have to say that Author Michael Robb Mathias
has one strong imagination and knows how to put it into words. I look
forward to reading any and all of his books.

"This book is made up of 3 individual stories. All three are short reads and other than the setting, which is Mexico, all three are completely different."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"You'll follow Logan as she tramples through kudzu, goes to her first Testicle Festival, rents a room from a woman who runs around at night in the nude and connects with a wolf. You will also follow her as she gets her man, or should I say men."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"Will the people of Hollow Gap pull together and defend themselves from the Indian up-rise or will they fall apart. Find the answers to these questions and more when you read this book of taming the West through love."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"I would NEVER have guessed the turn of events that make up the last 20 pages of Fresh Frozen. The hiring of the spy will surprise you and the murder will surprise you even more. So if you love a good mystery, this book is definitely for you."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"As I read I felt as if I was a witness watching this evil man do the things he did to these young women. As I read through the trial I felt like one of those ready to convict him. As I listened to the comments by his wife, I could feel her pain and confusion."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"After reading Breaking My Silence I saw Jane as a strong person who was determined to do whatever was needed to get her children back into her life and to do whatever it took to make her life as complete as possible without the prostitution. This was one of the most informative books I've ever read about a subject that is normally kept behind closed doors."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"
While reading Genesis Beach I found myself not wanting to put it down. Each page had a piece of evidence that would help me solve the mystery before Logan. I really thought I had pin-pointed the murderer. Boy was I in for a shock."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"I've enjoyed reading this book. It's a cross between a "fiction" and a "true crime." So if you enjoy either genre you will enjoy A Study in Red. Do keep in mind that this book is very descriptive."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"The story captured me from the beginning, the evil of Rovella never ceased to amaze me, and the love that was always there but didn't surface due to guilt made me feel the pain that I'm sure she felt. The ending was perfect."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"This has been a really enjoyable book.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Beth, don't change your way of writing! I've really enjoyed reading Basket Case and will be reading more of Beth's books."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"I feel this is a wonderfully written book that would be helpful not just for young people who are overweight but also for those who look at a person, no matter the age, call them names, shun them and refuse to accept them as they are."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"Bertha Speaks Out is a very enjoyable book to read. Bertha finds herself in positions that will make you laugh and cry. You will feel her pain but also feel her pride when she stands up for what is right. It’s a must read for children as well as adults.
"
(Martha A. Cheves)
"Read Thicker than Water and ask yourself these questions. Did the wife make the right choice? Was her decision worth 15 years of her family’s life? Would you have made the same decision?
I highly recommend Thicker than Water. As I said, it was a joy to read."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"As I read I kept asking myself “Who would put out a hit on David and why?” “Who are The Chosen Few and what do they have to do with David?” “Will Max get to David before it’s too late?” You will have to read The Chosen Few yourself to find the answers to these questions."
(Martha A. Cheves)
"This book has taught me that life is like a chain. Everyone we meet becomes a link in our chain. Some links may be weak, but the strong ones keep the chain from breaking. And as memories and secrets are shared with those strong links, they become even stronger."
(Martha A. Cheves)
