Excellent Anthology

The Dragons at War is an excellent anthology set in the world of Krynn during various time periods. The impressive array of authors have written countless books in the setting, and their short stories are nothing short of remarkable in this collection. Each story shows a different facet of the great wyrms of Krynn, including the original 10 created by Paladine and Takhisis, draconians, dragon riders, dragons in mortal guise, the treachery of the evil, and the gentleness of the good. If you read this collection you will laugh at the whimsical tales, such as The First Dragonarmy Engineer's Secret Weapon by Don Perrin and Margaret Weiss, and you will feel sadness and sobriety after reading Aurora's Eggs by Douglas Niles and Through the Door at the Top of the Sky by that cunning storyteller Roger E. Moore. There are countless books in the Dragonlance series, and numerous short story collections therein, but this one shines as a fine example of the setting and the skills of the authors who dream there.

Great...but

I thought that this was a very good book, but it was missing something that I can't quite put my finger on. There were some very good stories in it, the development was great, but there was something...missing. But this should not discourage you from buying the book, it is still one of the best DL books that I own. And that's saying something

An amazing book

This collection of stories is amazing. I recommend this book to anyone who loves hearing about dragons.

Great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read this book,(30 times actually). It is a great collection of short stories if I have every seen one. I believe some of the stories in it may be even better than some of the full lenght books.Dragons Dome

This book puts all the other Dragonlance books into place.

This book is a collection of stories about the Dragons of Krynn(another similar book by TSR), and explains many events and myths that pop up in other books. Auroras Egg was an especilly informative tale about the birth of the dragons. There are many well written stories in this book by many different authers, and If you are just starting to read Dragonlance books, and are confused as to what everyone is talking about, read this book now
