In the sequel to Storm of Wings [BKL S 1 02], Lord Hal Kailas, dragonmaster, hero, etc., is in the middle of a nasty war of attrition, and knowledgeable readers may wonder whether Bunch's background in military history has something to do with the strong resemblance of the conflicts in the book to some of the more futile World War I clashes, such as the 11 engagements of the Battle of the Isonzo. Moves and countermoves produce heavy losses for little gain and receive no help from diplomacy. There is lots of action, but the not particularly individuated dragons could be fighter planes or spacecraft, for all the alterations to plot and other characters such changes would necessitate. Think of this book as being definitely for action buffs only, especially those hooked on the series by its predecessor. Frieda Murray
