Jeff said...: I thought the series was done. I hadn't heard of a third book. Thanks for the info. Is there any information on a release date?; 12:28 AM
Kathryn said...: It looks like the hybrid of a Mark Charan Newton cover, a self-published book and one of the Pern novels.; 2:43 AM

machinery said...: the first two books are excellent.
imagine a fantasy series with no battles, and only a group of people going somewhere without gods, and evermen and whatever involved.
very good series.
btw, i don't understand the problem with the cover, it's to the point, dragons back in the dead city.
anon. said 4 books, damn, i was hoping to wrap it up in 3, usualy hoob settles for that i think.; 2:49 PM

MIke said...: So, "City of Dragons", there's a big dragon on the cover...I wonder if there are dragons in this book?

Reminds me of this Penny Arcade comic taking a shot at Weis & Hickman's latest effort:
