A princely boy sits on some ruined steps while a dragon leans downwards in a yawn of sorts. Standing next to them, a white bearded wizard in his long purple robes who is motioning to the sky with other dragons flying gracefully in the sky. No stereotypes here whatsoever … none … zip … nadda … zero… null … uhhh *coughs*

Do I dare admit. I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Weis & Hickman… having read the ole Dragonlance series as a teenager. But this cover is special! And for only 2 quid.. bargain!
I reckon the wizard is actually just about to feed that dragon a mouse or ferret or some sort of tasty snack.

Damnit Si, I was going to say that!
“The Stunning Conclusion to the Death Gate Cycle”.
As opposed to the marginally entertaining one?

I would enjoy the author who would put on their cover, “The mediocre conclusion to….”
I’m well looking forward for the day someone wants to put a quote from here on their cover!

A purple robed wizard, with the traditional pointy hat… classic ensemble.
The dragons are surely a standard piece for any Weis & Hickman. And EVERYONE knows dragons love to be fed ferrets.
£2 quid for 200 pages? £2 will get you several thousand sheets of toilet paper at TESCO, and its slightly more absorbant that Weis & Hickman.
I’m only judging this against the 2 dragonlance novels i read more than 10 years ago to be fair.

Hello!
I like a cover that goes across the front and the back of a book, its like your getting two for the price of one. Even more room for ruined temples and dragon joy!
That prince has no trousers on by the way.

Well I guess when you are a prince… you don’t need to wear trousers if you don’t want to.
Though it looks like it’s disturbing the dragon.

As I’m no architect, but I like big buttresses, and I cannot lie, it seems to me as though the flyers there are flying a bit far out into space to support themselves. Shouldn’t the buttresses on the left collapse for having their centres of weight off-plumb?

– How does my breath smell?
– Aaargh! Stop it! It’s the very arse of Beelzebub.
[The girl feeling faint has to sit down.]
– Go breathe on those yellow flying things.
