Live and Let Fly The Case Files of DragonEye PI Book 1 edition by Karina L Fabian Literature Fiction eBooks

Ms. Fabian has a wonderful sense of humor and this book will keep you laughing. This is the second Dragoneye PI book, but it can be read alone. For maximum enjoyment, read Magic, Mensa and Mayhem first.

Some time ago through a combination of a nuclear accident and a magic mishap, an interdimentional gate opened between the world and the fairy world in a small town in Colorado. It was called the GAP and it's effects were fairly localized. Travel to and from the Fairy World is tightly controlled; however, not everyone liked that.

While visiting his girl friend, the teen sensation Rhoda Dakota, on the ser of her first film, Live & Let Fly, Charlie the Duke's Herald is mugged and has his courier bag stolen. Then, Rhonda herself is kidnapped in an effort to force Charlie to devolve the information. But a Duke's Herald doesn't know what he carries. Soon Vern & Sister Grace of Dragoneye PI team up with Charlie and BILE (the Bureau for Interdimensional Law Enforcement) to stop the mega-maniac trying to create another interdemensional gate and rescue Rhoda.

In a world where elves are long lived, verbose and fashion challenged, where dragons have the wisdom of the ages but aren't recognized as "persons" by the US Immigration Service and fairy nuns can cast spells through the Power of God, anything can and does happen. See what happens when a big corporation takes HR classes just a bit too far! There's an evil but gifted engineer, extremely realistic robotics, an alphabet soup of spies (not just Rhoda's movie) and a demigoddess on the rampage! Vern & Sister Grace even go undercover!

Live and Let Fly The Case Files of DragonEye PI Book 1 edition by Karina L Fabian Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

has done some novels that could only be qualified as interesting. She's written theology, Catholic science fiction, rescue nuns, zombie exterminators, and those are just the ones that we'e taken a brief look at here.

And then there's Vern, the Dragon Private investigator.

Welcome to Los Lagos, Colorado, home of the Gap; in this case, the Gap is an inter-dimensional hole in time and space, and we can be grateful that this one isn't set in Cardiff. The Gap has made Los Lagos home of plenty of interesting species from the Faerie dimension, a realm that is quite Catholic, and the original home to Vern, who was a dragon of some repute even before he had an encounter with a knight named George.

Now, banished to our world by the Duke of Pebbles-on-Tweed, Vern has made his living as a PI, along with his sidekick, the Vatican Mage Sister Grace.

Like every good PI story from Dashel Hammet to Jim Butcher, the story starts small, and spirals out of control quickly. What starts as the search for a missing ring after an assault, quickly turns into a murder mystery, with a kidnapping for a side dish, and it turns into race to stop the end of the world, dun dun dunnnnnnnn.....

But how do you stop a killer that leaves no trace? Not even a scent a dragon can follow?

Overall, the story is fun. There are some nice shots at Hollywood along the way(let's start with the chapter titles "Murky but Present Dangers," or "Gapraker"). And it includes the best take on Disney animatronics that I've seen since Peter David's Psi-Man series. The chapter titles were something else ("Seven Habits of Highly Defective Henchmen.") In fact, the humor that works best is when Vern narrates events in term of cliche (see excerpts here). The satirical elements are possibly the funniest parts of the novel. I'm not sure if one of the villains was supposed to resemble Dilbert's Pointy-Haired-Boss, but it works.

Also along for the ride is the Bureau of Interdimensional Law Enforcement. ("BILE?" Vern thinks. "There's a name that must have been made in committee.") With some entertaining parodies of James Bond thrown in, as well as one character who should be played by Marvel's Agent Coulson.

And, seriously, who can argue with a book where Shiva is a war correspondent? Or where the Vatican has its own SpecOps team, giving a whole new meaning to the term "church militant"? It's right up there with John Ringo's Princess of Wands novel, that was based in the real world, with a little more strangeness attached.

There is also a wonderful sequence of negotiating with the kidnappers. It's only two pages long, but it's truly entertaining.

Live and Let Fly has some good solid action sequences. Like the attack of the killer animatronics, or a scene with an airship that was a cross between Final Fantasy VI and a John Nance novel.

And then, there's the line "I wanted the Holy Hand Grenades on standby in case all Hell did break loose."

Yeah, this was fun.
I liked this book enough that it totally blew out my plan for the day and sucked me into reading it straight through. Ergo, not much else got done, but you know what? I don't care. I liked this one more than the first book of Ms. Fabian's that I read, "Magic, Mensa, and Mayhem," which in itself is a fun romp. This one is slightly meatier, with a smoother plot and more action, with characters I like to hang around with. Vern is... Vern, in all his wise-cracking, punny glory. I very much like the way that Ms. Fabian has constructed this character, with his pre- and post-St. George abilities. The fact that Vern has to earn his way back to the power he once had seems fitting, given the size of his ego, and every character needs limits and oopsies to keep them from becoming pompous, all-powerful twits. I admit that I did not see what happened to him at the end coming at all. Well done, Ms. Fabian!

These books are known for their puns and cultural references, and this one is no different. Some of the humor felt forced, but most of it works, and left me smiling more often than not. I especially liked the Hellfire missiles, being ex-military myself. Best of all, this book left me wanting more of Vern and company, the best thing an author can do for her audience. Now I will have to track down the rest and see what size Vern is today.

If you want a fast, fun read, I can recommend this book with no reservations at all.
