- Inside Jacket: Since the publication, over two decades ago, of The Dragon the George, Gordon R. Dickson has entertained readers with his tales of Jim Eckert, the young mathematician who travels to a parallel medieval world only to be transformed into a large but none-too-bright dragon named Gorbash. Now the Dragon Knight must confront the three disasters that lie in wait for any visitor to the English Middle Ages: War, Plague, and Plantagenets. The Plague is caused by a covert invasion of shapechanging goblins with plague-tipped spears who seek to take over the world. Meanwhile, Eckert"s castle is invaded by Plantagenets: Edward III; his son Edward, the Black Prince; and Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent. Against the background of a full-scale human-versus-goblin war, these worthies move in a swirl of intrigue and dynastic tension. And, as usual, it"s up to Jim Eckert, in all his scaly glory, to make sure good triumphs in the end!
