      Synopsis

      A thousand years before the Winter War, two sworn enemies each set forth to find the warhammer that could challenge their most terrible foes. But neither of them could know of the perils that lay ahead-perils to life, and limb, and heart.

      Library Journal

      Driven by a desire for glory and the lure of dragon gold, a young Vanadarin prince slays the dragon Sleeth and begins a chain of events that brings two kingdoms to the brink of war. An unusual love story provides the focus for McKiernan's latest classic fantasy tale set in the world of ``The Iron Tower'' trilogy and ``The Silver Call'' duo. Recommended.

      April 30, 2003: I'm impressed. I read of this author as a 'Tolclone', i.e. an ersatz Tolkien, and it was not flattery. I will admit he goes over and above in copying notions and forms from Tolkien. But this story was original, and fit in a broad history of its own. Not merely a copy of Middle Earth, Mithgar is a world that borrows liberally from Tolkien as well as conventianal history and humanity. He has his own 'storyteller' way of narrative, and his peoples include human ethnic types without being heavy handed and obvious. Great story. I look forward to reading his Iron Tower trilogy!

      August 11, 2002: I couldn't put the book down. It captured me in the first paragraph. Dragondoom is definetely one of the best and saddest books i've read.
