"The Souls of the Fire Dragon" by John Wrieden

Oddly reminiscent of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," this book centers around an unlikely hero. Dubbed as being at the right man in the wrong place, he is swept up into a fantastical adventure. Assisted by dragons, the protagonist must help defeat evil. There are references to power--which may or may not allude to actual government systems--and corruption. It is a bit creepy when the dragon is described as seductive, though. The book is more dialog than narration, so it feels very fast paced.
