City of Speed (Battle Dragons #2)

Description

In a modern mega-city built around dragons, one boy gets caught up in the world of underground dragon battles and a high-stakes gang war that could tear his family apart.<p></p> <p>In the city of Drakopolis, dragons and humans have co-existed for centuries. Dragons burn the city's garbage, taxi its busy citizens from place to place, and even compete in vicious underground battles for ganglike kins.</p><p>But the dragons also compete in <i>legal</i> sports, like the spectacular aerial races that draw in cheering crowds by the tens of thousands.</p><p>Abel is at just such a race when he witnesses the unthinkable. A long-shot competitor pulls off an impossible win -- then flies into a destructive rage! Someone in the city is experimenting on dragons: hacking their DNA, rebuilding their bodies, and breaking their minds. Who could be driving the dragons berserk?</p><p>Abel <i>must</i> find out who's behind the experiments and put a stop to them, and to do so he'll infiltrate the kins' underground street races on a long-shot dragon of his own. But with his sister working for a kin, his brother serving the city's secret police, and a bully at school racing for Abel's worst enemies, will Abel find any safety past the finish line?</p></p>
