   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  mrklingon | Dec 3, 2019 |   I think you need to like both science fiction and fantasy to enjoy this book. If you do, I urge you to start with Dragons in the Stars and continue on to this one. (  ) Jean_Sexton | Mar 19, 2016 | However, Jael finds unlikely allies - in the 'warp' space known as the flux, which riggers 'visit' as a mentally-generated landscape, she finds that there has been some truth to the unsubstantiated rumors of dragons in space... A very light and simple story - I almost felt that it would have been better as a short story rather than a novel. The sequel, Dragon Rigger, is much more complex - one almost feels as if the first book was merely an introduction to the characters and scenario. Now, the realm of the dragons is torn by a vicious civil war. If the Enemy wins, he may even break out of the Flux and subsume human space with his evil plans. However, an ancient prophecy seems to indicate that Jael may be involved with the end of the war - the good dragons hope that this means she will help them - but it could equally be interpreted to mean that her death will spell the end of the dragons' Realm. Better than the first one, I thought, but the book suffers from weak individual characterizations and a fairly typical fantasy plot. (But I liked the parrot - more spaceships should have a cyber-parrot!) (  ) AltheaAnn | Feb 9, 2016 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Contingut a
A realm at war. The star dragons struggle under the oppression of an unseen foe--a creature of terrible power, who seeks to shape all of space-time into a web of subjugation and death. The Dream Mountain, source of knowledge and life to the dragons, is held by the enemy; and yet, hope burns in the dragons' hearts. According to ancient prophecy, One will come from outside to challenge the darkness. Star pilot Jael LeBrae may be that savior. Once before, she aided the dragons in their struggle, and now she must return to face at last the terrible wrath of Tar-skel. But if the prophecy holds true, the price of victory over the darkness will be Jael's own life. Captivating sequel to Dragons in the Stars, Dragon Rigger is science fiction with mythic dimension, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity's End and The Chaos Chronicles.

A fantastic turn through space, with a fantasy - but not fantasy - theme. Hard to describe, but in the realm of space opera, so often filled with military campaigns and battles, this Tolkeinesque story of spaceships and dragons was ... refreshing. And the themes of risk and sacrifice were deep and meaningful - not simple adventure. (
