*** The First Dragon Eater - Janet and Chris Morris Interesting. This piece has an intentionally-elevated, formal style which effectively brings to mind ancient mythologies - maybe Babylonian, more than anything else? One really gets a sense of a greater culture and complicated pantheon behind what's on the page. However, that very quality of the writing also makes it a little bit inaccessible and confusing, as characters and events are continually brought up without explanation or introduction. It's a historical explanation of why a certain people partake in a ritual that they do.
** Legacy of the Great Dragon - S.E. Lindberg The Egyptian gods are losing their divine powers and becoming mortal. Thoth is desperately trying to research some alchemical or scientific way of restoring their immortality, but Horus is stupidly impatient and focused solely on his age-old conflict with Set. The lust for power will destroy the painstaking search for knowledge... I liked the ideas here, but unfortunately I felt that the execution was rather clunky.
*** Bring Your Rage - Janet & Chris Morris Queen of the Amazons, Penthesilea, is among a group of rough, rowdy and disenchanted men assembled to hunt a dragon and, after proving their worth, to fight against Troy. But them one man arrives who makes the crowd seem like the rabble they are. This may be the one man whom she can see as a hero...
*** Aquila of Oyos - Walter Rhein A fearsome but ancient dragon refuses to admit that times are changing, when a chained dragon in the company of men approaches his lair. Age-old taboos forbid a dragon from killing another dragon... but this is an extreme provocation.
