A BIOTECH RACE AGAINST TIME TO DEVELOP MILITARY-GRADE DRAGONS. Brilliant genetic engineer Noah Parker is pitted head-to-head against the founder of Build-a-Dragon to design custom dragons for the military.

Genetic engineer Noah Parker has at last landed the job he's long coveted: director of dragon design for the Build-A-Dragon Company. 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.

      Deploying Dragons is the second installment of the Build-A-Dragon Sequence, which imagines a world where dragons are developed in a lab and serve a variety of purposes (cuddle buddies, trophies, guard dogs, oh my!) to their human owners. In this stellar follow-up to Domesticating Dragons (2021), Kobloldt returns readers to the familiar offices of Build-A-Dragon, which should have been a triumphant return for Noah Parker and reader alike. Instead, Noah is faced with an empty office that is recovering from the infamous deeds of its prior CEO--he was trying to replace dogs with domesticated dragons--and financial ruin, as people actually prefer their pets to have fur rather than scales. However, with a lucrative contract with the Department of Defense on the line, Noah and his small team will band together, while at the same time, stretching the ethical boundaries of dragon genetics to beat an old enemy. A fast-paced and funny ride, this book will keep readers entertained.
