With a combination of genetic engineering and a cryptic device known as the Redwood Codex, he and his team can produce living, breathing dragons made-to-order. But sales of dragons have plummeted, and the Build-A-Dragon Company will have to find new revenue streams if it hopes to stay in business. A contract to develop dragons for the U.S. military promises a much-needed lifeline. Yet the specs are more challenging than anything Noah has ever designed. Worse, he learns that a shadow company headed by former CEO Robert Greaves has stolen the dragon-making technology to make a competing bid. Noah’s dragons will face off against those of his old adversary. It’s a head-to-head design competition, with the ethical future of domesticated dragons hanging in the balance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eDeploying Dragons\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Full of thrilling invention and discovery and show-stealing dragons, this one is for every reader who’s ever dreamed of riding or at least training their very own winged beast.” —\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “A fast-paced and funny ride, this book will keep readers entertained.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout \u003ci\u003eDomesticating Dragons\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Koboldt delivers a funny and immersive look at the world of genetic engineering. . . .
