How far would you go to change humanity's fate?
Jared Cartwright grew up in a loving, caring community, completely isolated from the horrors of the outside world. When tragedy leaves him alone and untethered, Jared sets out to explore the unknown: a world where twisted, scarred creatures roam an earth ravaged by nuclear war while the rich fled to the skies on floating utopias, escaping destruction and leaving the rest of humanity to die.
To face his new reality, Jared must learn to survive in a cold, harsh world. A twist of fate changes Jared's destiny when he discovers dragons are real. The dragon unlocks a hidden technology within his body, giving him powers he never imagined existed.
With deadly adversaries above and below, he must evolve beyond mere human limitations to defeat the powerful rulers of the cities and the rabid beasts lurking in the shadows.
Amazon number-one best seller in Post-Apocalyptic & Cyberpunk!

The .main protagonist, Jared, wandering alone in search of salvage, unwiting!y bonds himself to a bossy baby dragon, each vowing to help the other's species. The initial 'getting to know you' part of the book is presented with status screens, as in a LitRPG story, an interesting feature. The bonded companions travel through a gross dystopian world having adventures in their dual quest of revenge against the cites and the return of Scarlet's brothers.
The story is action packed with several near death experiences. The world building is imaginative and vividly executed. The narration is also creative with Armen Taylor theatrically reading the text and most of the encountered players whilst Anneleise Rennie voices Scarlet, giving good contrast and increasing the feeling of double bonding. Together, they work very effectively..
Unfortunately, however, this reader could feel little empathy for Jared and also has an aversion to dragons, so found the whole adventure overly long, especially since there is frequent recalling of earlier information. But this is a personal idiosyncracy which would probably not affect other fantasy fans. The book has all of the elements necessary for a solid story: the evolution of the main protagonist from man to hero, the struggle to stay alive in an hostile environment, not one but two quests to fight injustices, the rescue of innocents, the evil enemy, lots of action: it's all there, and more.
My thanks to the rights holder of Radioactive Evolution, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. It was not exactly what I had expected from the brief synopsis given and, although I personally found it difficult to enjoy, I would still recommend it to fans of the fantasy genre.
Some humans are evil.

This had similarly with "The Dragon Riders of Pern" series of books by Anne McCaffrey. A human bonds with a dragon and their lives are intertwined thereafter. That's where the similarities end. This setting is a radioactive, post-dystopian earth, where the Earth's elete have abandoned the rest of humanity.
The narration was very good and in no way hinders the progression of the story. I have no problem recommending this book.
Everything about this book was great.
