About Migon
|
"There's nothing wrong with being one of the bright spots."
Gyndri was born a human boy. But now he's one of the brightest spots of all. He's a Migon - a miniature dragon created to help humanity survive. His life changed completely when a dragon's attack ripped him from his loving family and set him on a new and frightening path. Along with his human companion, Piet, Gyndri is now tasked with finding out two things. First, where he came from and who he wants to be. Second, teh cause of the growing crime wave threatening Landing, the largest city on the planet of Respite. Migons are a creation of the Ancients, bound to guard and assist humanity, and to obey human commands. Gyndri needs freedom. To accomplish his mission, Gyndri must become something brand new. |

WHAT READERS HAD TO SAY
Pranav Pandey from A Polychromatic World said: "The story is very well written and the pace is good enough to keep you hooked. Even though it houses future science and magic, at no point I felt it to be unrealistic, which was good. Characters are well developed and we see them growing in stature as the story goes. Anyone liking this genre will definitely like it. Even generally speaking, this is a good, light read and you can definitely take it once. I also liked the design accompanying the book. Migon ends on a cliffhanger and makes you wanting more at the end. So good job, Keeler!"
Alex McGilvery from Goodreads and Celtic Frog Reviews said: "Migon is a fun read, with few predictable character tropes. Keeler takes the time to let us meet them, and more importantly see them begin to grow. The world is much more complicated than the beginning of the book suggests, but we learn about it as we need to. . . . Gyndri is an engaging character, the decision to blend human and migon is what keeps him relatable, is also means he is learning as he goes, which is always more interesting than being handed knowledge on a platter."
Melissa Jane from Goodreads said: "The story kept getting better and better."
Evelyn from Goodreads said: "A must read for the sci-fi followers.. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and and looking forward to Peter's next book with the continuing story. Descriptive Images and descriptions to place you within the story!"

MINI-INTERVIEW WITH P.C. KEELER ABOUT
Migon
P.C. KEELER
What inspired you to write this book?
I've read a number of novels where the main character (or even a side character) has an animal companion, but I've never seen a story told from that character's perspective. The idea of a protagonist who had to accomplish their objectives while serving someone else seemed like it could provide an interesting situation.
Who would you be if you were a character in your own book (and why)?
The Silver Man. What can I say? I have a technical background and a relentless work ethic.
What's next on the horizon?
I have two other novels in progress, and two more Familiar novels plotted out. In addition to Gyndri's ongoing adventures, the other novels feature a thief with supernatural luck working his way through a post-electronic London, and a divinely-empowered pool player who chooses to rely on her own skills instead of using her magical abilities.
