Description: An abiding presence in myth and literature from around the world, the dragon has been reborn in 20th-century fantasy fiction. The classic winged, fire-breathing reptile, often associated with evil (they DO despoil villages, demand virgin sacrifices and hoard stolen treasure in cavernous lairs, after all) tends nowadays to be more disposed to humankind, sometimes aloofly offering magical wisdom, sometimes actively involved in human lives, whether as servants or friends. FOr this exclusive SFBC anthology - not available in stores - editor Marvin Kaye asked five top fantasy authors to contribute original novellas to this store of dragon lore.
Includes:
In the Dragoon's House by Orson Scott Card
Judgement by Elizabeth Moon
Love in a Time of Dragons by Tanith Lee
Joust by Mercedes Lackey
King Dragon by Michael Swanwick
as well as an introduction and afterward by the editor
