Dragons: The Modern Infestation is a book about Earth, except it has dragons on it. No, really, that’s about it.

What, that’s not enough?

Fine, D:TMI (written by Pamela Wharton Blanpied) is a book about how people thought dragons were myths, except that the myths are actually remnants of stories from the Medieval Infestation. Now the dragons are back, and they’re eating a lot of cows.

It’s written like a scientific monograph, so D:TMI doesn’t actually have characters in the traditional sense. Certain verminologists (scientists who study the dragons) crop up again and again, though, which is why there’s a Philomel St James on DDD and Phil-mun's writing this at all.

The dragons from D:TMI are huge, serpentine, intelligent, and distant. They have no qualms about burning all the crops of Europe in response to one of their own being killed, but they can be civil, or even friendly, at times. They have two languages, and may possibly be aliens.
