Book Description: There be dragons of all spots and stripes in this solid
anthology from editor Kaye (The Vampire Sextette), showcasing original
fantasy novellas by five of the biggest names in the genre. In Orson Scott
Card's uneven "In the Dragon's House," a Bradburyesque gingerbread gothic, a
lonely orphan named Michael discovers a magical but somewhat sinister
"dragon" in the old mansion he lives in with other disenfranchised children.
Elizabeth Moon's "Judgment" is a wise, Tolkien-toned piece, complete with
dwarves and stolen eggs that contain powerful "pretties" capable of turning
villagers into dragons. Tanith Lee's gorgeous "Love in a Time of Dragons,"
the volume's single erotic entry, tells the tale of an abused servant who
falls in love with a dragon ring.
Kaye, editor of many notable anthologies, presents five dazzling new long
stories by well-known fantasy authors. In Orson Scott Card's gothic "In the
Dragon's House," an old dragon with its own mysterious agenda nurtures a
lonely boy. In "Judgment" by Elizabeth Moon, a dragon sits in judgment on a
boy shunned by his village and on those who would abuse or use him. Tanith
Lee's "Love in a Time of Dragons" is a sensual fable about an ill-used
tavern wench, who, through sheer determination and a murder, becomes a
dragonwife. Mercedes Lackey's "Joust," about a serf requisitioned to become
a dragon boy, is the basis of her fine novel Joust [BKL Mr 15 03] and its
recent sequel, Alta [BKL Mr 15 04]. Rounding out the book is "King Dragon,"
Michael Swanwick's grim tale of a sinister bionic dragon that takes over a
small village and its inhabitants. None of the stories ever falters, and
each puts forth a very different, entirely compelling view of dragons.
