Narration In Pursuance Of Books Third Starlighter (Tales of Starlight #2)
Adrian Masters journeys into the wilderness of Starlight, the dragon planet, in search of his brother Frederick who has built a refuge for runaway slaves. Carrying the comatose body of Marcelle and accompanied by two liberated slave girls, Adrian has to find medical help for Marcelle, but the slave master dragons will kill him on sight if he comes out of hiding. Adrian hopes to join his brother and devise a plan to rescue other humans enslaved on Starlight. Since he cannot leave Marcelle alone, her nearly lifeless body becomes a physical and emotional anchor, and he is torn between helping her or attempting to rescue the slaves. Meanwhile, Marcelle’s spirit travels to their home planet in search of military help. She is able to materialize there in a temporary body that looks corpselike and feels icy cold. Because of her appearance, Governor Orion persecutes her as a sorceress and sentences her to burn at the stake. Yet, she has hope of rescue in three allies—her father; an eccentric former teacher; and the mysterious Starlighter, Cassabrie. Filled with excitement, twists and turns, and thought-provoking dilemmas, Third Starlighter will keep readers turning the pages.Rating Containing Books Third Starlighter (Tales of Starlight #2)

This is a fairly good follow-up to "Masters and Slayers"; however, I would recommend refreshing yourself on the plot up to this point before continuing. While it's a little heavy on the romance for my personal taste, I think fans of Bryan Davis will enjoy the continuing action and moral dilemmas found in this book. (Like Christian Fantasy and Sci-fi? Check out my blog, thebookhoundchristianspecfic.blogspot.com)Bryan Davis did it again. My jaw was dropping continuously during this book, and I couldn't put it down. I won't reveal any plot details, but let me just say that that almost-last scene with those dragons....WOW. Another winner, and I look forward to more from Master Davis' desk!
3.5An interesting continuation of the story but I got confused at elements that seemed to just come out of nowhere, yet we seemed to be expected to know.
Bryan Davis is the author several speculative-fiction series, including Dragons in Our Midst, Oracles of Fire, Children of the Bard, The Reapers Trilogy, The Time Echoes Trilogy, Tales of Starlight, and Dragons of Starlight.Bryan lives in western Tennessee with his wife, Susie. Bryan and Susie have homeschooled their four girls and three boys. Bryan was born in 1958 and grew up in the eastern U.S.
I really didn't enjoy this one as much as the other Tales of Starlight and Dragons of Starlight books. Maybe because it features Marcelle so much -- I just don't like her. I try. I get that she's supposed to be this awesome heroine, but it just doesn't hit me that way. I also tend to find Bryan Davis's books to be preachy or at least overly flowerly and heavy handed on the moralizing. I applaud him for wanting to spread positive messages, but I honestly want to roll my eyes at times at the way
I loved it! I thought it was the best one of both series so far. I was hooked from the starting sentence to the end, and it left me pondering for hours after finishing it. I love the characters and how much they have grown since the first book. Marcelle is becoming one of my favorites. Third Starlighter is truly inspiring and captivating. Another must read from Bryan Davis.
