In this latest book in his humorous dragon series (e.g., The Dragon on the Border, Tor 1992), Nebula and Hugo award winner Dickson returns to the tale of the English professor who must adjust to life as a medieval dragon in a parallel 14th century world. When the King of the Gnarlies kidnaps Jim and Angela Eckert's adopted son Robert, Jim again assumes his dragon form to save the child. Jim and Angela bring their 20th-century sensibilities and his fledgling magical abilities to a medieval world of talking wolves and trolls. Dickson adds a sly touch of humor to make this a highly enjoyable read. Highly recommended for all fantasy collections.

In the seventh tale of Baron James de Bois de Malencontri, the Dragon Knight, his adopted son is kidnapped by his longtime rival, the earl of Cumberland, in cahoots with the king of the Gnarlies, faeries with an agenda of their own and a taste for meddling in human politics. In both human and dragon forms, Baron James has his work cut out for him, and he and his wife, Angie, are still struggling to reconcile late-twentieth-century and medieval (also magical) realities. Faster paced than some of its predecessors, with more adventure and less humor, this series member is as well written, for Dickson is a writer who would never, even under threat of death, fail to do his homework. It will definitely hold series fans, even if it wins no new converts. Roland Green
