The Dragon Masters and Other Stories
Electronic book text
The race of man is growing old, but it's not yet ready to die - not while there are dragons still to kill! The cross-bred dragon armies of the Men of Aerlith are the most appalling horrors ever to threaten the sanity of our future:
Termagents three hundred reptilian giants with six legs apiece, the most fecund breeders of them all. Jugglers eighteen of them, growling amongst themselves, waiting for an opportunity to snap off a leg from any unwary groom. Murderers (striding and long-horned) eighty-five of each, with scaly tails and eyes like crystals. Fiends fifty-two powerful monsters, their tails tipped with spike steel balls. Blue Horrors, Basics, Spider Dragons... the enemy has no chance.Buy now!
