You will discover it’s a wild and beautiful tale of greed, pride, war, hate and dragon gold -- lots of gold! But, you can also read it as a tender and tragic tale of love, that was not meant to be. Is it an adventure tale, or a romantic one? You do the math. Either way, the outcome of the war is inevitable and the fate of the golden loot is rather surprising, but not unexpected.
If I say any more, I won’t be able to stop, and that may spoil it for you.
Dragondoom was written over ten years ago, but I consider it the best of all the Mithgar books. It is the standard by which I measure all the others. This book is back in print, as of May 2001, so you don't need to run to your nearest used bookstore.
