| Author | Peter Dickinson |
| ISBN | 0330415468 |
This book caught my eye purely based on the name of the author -- I grew up loving the movie "Flight of Dragons," and not only did Peter Dickinson write the book that movie is based on, but the filmmakers named the main character in his honor. A curious reason to pick up a book, perhaps, but it at least caught...

| Author | Thomas Harlan |
| ISBN | 0812590104 |
If someone were to ask what this reader's thoughts are on Thomas Harlan's second book in the Oath of Empire series, off the top of my head I would say that it is mighty descriptive.

Okay, this book is either one star, or five stars. I've averaged it out to four because I enjoyed it, but you gotta be looking for this kind of book.
