About the Author
Jonathan Strahan (The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of the Year, Eclipse) and Marianne S. Jablon, Wings of Fire collects the best short stories about dragons. From writhing wyrms to snakelike devourers of heroes; from East to West and everywhere in between, Wings of Fire is sure to please dragon lovers everywhere.
From Booklist
The editors offer 26 dragon tales that are high in quality and diverse in writing style and characterization. With the exception of two written especially for this volume, the stories have been previously published but are more than worth reprising. The anthology leads off with Peter S. Beagle’s dark poem, “Stable of Dragons,” and includes a tale from McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series and a selection from Leguin’s Earthsea universe. In George R. R. Martin’s “The Ice Dragon,” does winter bring the dragon or vice versa? Michael Swanwick presents a mechanical warrior dragon that becomes king of a small village; Jane Yolen has an old dragon imparting wisdom to a boy; in Pat Murphy’s “Dragon’s Gate,” a 15-year-old girl must make the arduous trek to that gate in the hope of securing three drops of a dragon’s blood to save her mother’s life. Gordon R. Dickson’s well-loved “St. Dragon and the George” is among the offerings, and other writers include Orson Scott Card, Elizabeth Bear, Charles de Lint, and Tanith Lee, making this a treasure trove for dragon lovers. --Sally Estes
