Product Description

Product Description

The Crossroads Series explores previously undescribed areas of the Dragonlance world. Dragonlance fans eagerly await detailed information on any area of their favorite fantasy world.

The port town of Flotsam has always been left to handle its own problems, neither asking for nor wanting help from the rest of Krynn. That is, until the young mage Ulin Majere and his traveling companion are summoned there to identify a murder victim. They quickly discover there is more to the rough seaport than just one dead body, including cagey thieves, failing magic, the Knights of Neraka, and a very greedy, very deadly red dragon.

First Sentence
Palin once said that if you could avoid pirates, marauding Dark Knights, sea dragons, the Dragon Overlords, the fickle storms, and the general vagaries of a sea voyage, a ship cruise through New Sea could be a restful and relaxing way to travel. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Flotsam, a wrenched hive of scum and villainy, Jan 1 2003
By Richard Pierson (California) - See all my reviews
An extremely well written novel by Mary H. Herbert, as always with her dragonlance novels, "Dragon's Bluff" is solid. This time she expands on her forays into the Majere family and Ulin Majere, son of Palin, comes into the spotlight. While not as interesting as his sister Linsha was in "Clandestine Circle", he provides a strong draw for anyone that enjoys the Majere family.

This novel includes just about everything a good DL novel needs. It has mages, thieves, dragons, gnome and kender sidekicks. It even has the cool theme of the story revolving around a card game called Dragon's Bluff. But it just kind of lacked that killer instinct that could have turned it into a truly great novel. Instead, while well written, the plot never really gives you the action you assume you should get. And the ending lacks that large bang you want during the end of a DL novel.

While it was realistic, had a well driven plot, developed characters, and even had the all important dragon as a villain, it just lacked a little "umph". Can't say I didn't like it, but sadly can't rave about it either.

Final Thought: Anyone up for a game of Dragon's Bluff?

3.0 out of 5 stars a boring series, Oct 26 2002
By Andy. Gillum (indian mound, tn) - See all my reviews
While the characters were vastly more entertaining than the ones in the previous book & the writer not quite so long-winded, this book was still rather bland & as boring as the rest of the series.

With about 80 novels in the DL series, it's a good thing that not all of them are worth reading a 2nd time(or 1st for that matter)but it still drives me crazy when they so obviously give some of these books a half-hearted attempt.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad at all, Mar 30 2002
By "shard27" (Azlabar) - See all my reviews
This book was good. I enjoyed the characters and the setting but nothing was great. The plot was good, well everything was good but not great. I would say it is worth buying if you have nothing else you currently want to read. I was not dissapointed or impressed. Buy it if you feel like it.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Takes a Thief...
It's been a long time since I've read a DragonLance novel. Probably as the result of overdosing on Weis and Hickman's books. Read more
