THE MAN WHO WOULD BE DRAGON
Thrown into the alternative universe of 14th century England, 20th century mathematician Jim Eckert and his wife Angie have become Sir James, Baron de Bois de Malencontri, and Lady Angela. A bit of a shock, but they’d coped with it. In fact they were dealing with their new life’s hazards and magical manifestations just fine.
Until Jim is suddenly transformed into a dragon …
None too pleased about this latest turn of events, Jim turns for help to his neighbour, the magician S. Carolinus, who takes him on as an apprentice. Prince Edward is captured by the French at the Battle of Poitiers, Jim sets out with some companions, including Aaargh the wolf, to join the English forces. He ends up as chief pawn in a battle against the Dark Powers – with extraordinary consequences …
“I am happy to recommend 'The Dragon Knight'. Dickson, as ever, writes like a dream and you don’t have to read the first book to enjoy the second … wackily brilliant”
INTERZONE
“Dickson has further developed the intriguing medieval universe he posited in 'The Dragon and the George' giving reality and texture to the actual life of the time while exploring the effects of magic. The scenes describing diplomatic relations among the dragons are particularly fine”
