Kurzbeschreibung
Through no fault of his own, the once human Jim Eckert had become a dragon. Unfortunately, his beloved Angie had remained human. But in this magical land anything could happen. To make matter worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where humans were edible and beasts were magical--where spells worked and logic didn't--Jim Eckert had a big, strange problem.
Synopsis
Following his kidnapped betrothed, Angie, through an erractic astral-projection machine, Jim Eckert finds himself transformed into a dragon named Gorbash and discovers that Angie is held captive by an evil dragon in the dreaded Loathly Tower.

Science Fiction meets Sword and Sorcery,
Von George R Dekle "Bob Dekle" (Lake City, FL United States) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Dragon and the George (Taschenbuch)
Many sword-and sorcery writers use a formula plot which goes something like this: 1. Hero languishes in a mundane workaday world. 2. Hero, by magic or science, is fantastically transported to a wondrous world where magic works. 3. Hero encounters strange situations and remarkable characters. 4. Hero embarks on quest, rescues the damsel-in-distress, defeats the forces of evil, and saves humanity. One example of this formula is DeCamp and Pratt's "Incomplete Enchanter" series."The Dragon and the George" follows this formula to a T, but the result is one of the best examples of the type. One nice touch is that the magic in this new world is treated in a most non-mystical way: It must follow laws as strict as the laws of physics, and it can never run afoul of the Accounting Department. Dickson uses this vehicle to explore the nature of courage, friendship, and loyalty, and each of the protagonists displays these attributes in varying degrees and varying ways. To save his friends, Aragh faces the hordes of sandmirks alone and with two broken legs. Weak and cowardly Secoh screws his courage to the sticking point to help the crippled Smrgol face the powerful young Bryagh. Dafydd the archer calmly assumes the near-impossible task of shooting down a horde of harpies. Jim Eckert recovers from the blue funk induced by a near-death experience to lead his friends into the almost certainly fatal final battle. Dickson writes a story in which the most fantastical of characters seem as real as your next door neighbor, and you come to really care about them. Dickson brings new life to a tired old scifi formula and tells a fine swashbuckling story in the process. Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionen

Good fun; fairly sophisticated humour with a light touch,
Von Ken Coar "Rodent of Unusual Size" (in 1.0 AU Solar orbit) - Alle meine Rezensionen ansehen (REAL NAME)
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Dragon and the George (Taschenbuch)
What if you were a top athlete and volleyball player.. What if your girlfriend was being experimented upon by a nerdy psychology student.. hey, hang on! No, she's been kidnaped by other dragons! *Other* dragons? Yes, suddenly you're a dragon: big, strong, able to fly, with a craving for gold and a reputation for being.. well, slow. The Dark Powers are closing in, and you'll need all the help you can get, especially from Carolinus of the Tinkling Water, to get out of this one.. Excellent fun, setting the stage for a number of books which followed 'Dragon's success. 'G' rating; good reading for all ages.

An exellent novel with everything you could want in a book,
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Dragon and the George (Taschenbuch)
This novel is an excellent read for almost anyone.Dickson does an outstanding job with showing how life is in the middle ages, he also throws in a light twist of comedy every once in a while and you can't help but laugh. He does a great job with the characters in this novel, they each have a different view of life and different personalities. This is probably the best book of the sieries, but dont get me wrong, they are all good. So, in conclusion this is a great read, highly recomended.
