From Booklist
In the first book of the new Dragonmaster series, Hal Kailas grows from a callow 13-year-old, fascinated by the dragons living in the crags just above his isolated village, into a battle-savvy Dragonmaster. Dragooned into the Derain army, Hal faces his first blooding in the cavalry during the vicious war against the Roche. After he becomes the sole survivor of his unit, he joins the dragon fliers, with whom his astuteness, bravery, and capability earn him promotion and honor. But his main concern lies with wreaking revenge for the deaths of his cavalry comrades. The action in this series-opener is nonstop and violent, with many deaths attributable to the stupidity of those responsible for running the war. Despite a victory at the end, readers know, along with Hal, that the war and the killing have only begun. Bunch's military background stands him in good stead as he concocts strategy and depicts battle in the air and on the ground. A good bet for military sf and fantasy fans. Sally Estes

From the Publisher
The action–packed new novel from one of the greatest writers of fantasy adventure. The land between the volatile kingdoms of Deraine, Sagene, and Roche is ruled by the sword and by the outlaw. But the schemes of men and nations hold scant interest for Hal Kailas. For him, the only true power in the world is that of the dragons… As a child he loved to climb the high cliffs around his village and watch the dragons nesting there — huge, savage beasts with wings that blackened the sun. His only dream was to grow wings — or learn to ride a dragon. But when the uneasy peace of the kingdoms is threatened by war, Hal’s dream becomes reality. For this is a conflict such as the world has never seen. For the first time, the fearsome wild dragons have become living weapons, ridden by men of cold daring and ruthless ambition. And the greatest of them is Hal Kailas. Dragonmaster.
