Another draconic masterpiece

For a while, I had been searching for this one book, the only one in the series that's the hardest to find and the book that explains how the beginning of Dragon at World's End begins. It was worth the search though as this is another great book of Rowley's. This one seemed to touch up more on the behavior and origin of the battledragons. As usual, the Purple Green, the biggest and strongest (and also the only wild) dragon does his best to entertain the reader with his amusing antics about food in the legions and in the wild. And Bazil and the other wyverns are right there to liven things up. Of course, when the battles against the enemy start, the dragons get serious. Christopher Rolwey describes the battles excellently. If you're a fan of dragon/human relationship stories like me or just happen to be a lover of all things dragon, than get this book along with the other six in the series. I must warn you about one character: the new leader for Relkin's unit in this book is a real annoying loser to read about and sort of a waste of pages. Try not to be too turned off by his obnoxiousness.

BEST OF THE SERIES

the best book in the bazil broketail series lots of action definitly christopher rowleys best work yet.

Christopher Rowley is God

This is a nother great book from the Bazil Broketail series. I have been reading science fiction and fantasy all my life, but these books are truly in a league of their own. Never will you see another series like this.

An amazing novel with an original story and excellent plot.

WOW! I was hoping that this book would never end as I read it. This was truly the best book in the Bazil Broketail series and is one of the best books I have read from my second favorite author.(JRR Tolkien is my favorite). An excellent story with a tragic ending (until the next book), Battledragon was a very entertaining book.

The best book I have ever read!!!"I KID YOU NOT"

I am a veteran of sci-fi and I take it as a matter of pride that I have read over 800 sci-fi and fantasy books in my reading life, and this simply put is the best. The only equals to it are Christopher's other books, although I will have to admit that the Black Ship was a little weird.....But ALL his other books are perfect, his writing style is action packed, and yet he somhow manages to fit in an excellent plot. this book is a slightly whimsicacle "slightly" story about a 4-ton dragon and his dragon-boy, who is his keeper, although the story is mainly about the boy. I doubt this will ever reach the author because he seems to be a hermit of some sort and I have not been able to find anything about him. But the books are still perfect.....If this by some miracle reaches the author, is there a sequel planned for Relkin and Baz or are they retired? mjellest@atnet.net
