This is the sequel to the utterly enjoyable "Dragons Wild" - Robert Asprin has produced a thoroughly engaging tale with a new look at Dragons and the supernatural.
The structure of the book has similarities with his wonderful M.Y.T.H series, and if you like those you'll like this - I did.
Alas, the passing of Mr Asprin means that this particular saga is probably at an end.
We the readers are poorer as a result.

excellent
11 April 2009
Format:Paperback
Siblings Griffen and Valerie McCandles were raised as humans unaware that they were the offspring of two half-dragons until their unique powers started to manifest. Dragons are a selfish species with a need to accrue more power, which makes them ruthless and avaricious. Griffen is different perhaps an anecdotal proof of nurturing over naturing, but he is only interested in running the gambling empire his mentor turned over to him. A George, a mercenary who kills dragons for a fee, is impressed with Griffen, who is learning to use his new skills. West Coast dragon Flynn watches the New Orleans based Griffen with a close eye trying to ascertain whether this new hybrid is a threat to him or will he be an asset if he decides to bring him into his organization. His lover Mei also keeps a close surveillance on Griffen because her Asian dragon cartel has their eye on him.
Griffen is content with his lot and cares about his friends including the ghost of the former Voodoo high priestess Rose. She asks him to host the Conclave where the various supernatural groups are coming to town to talk and have fun. Griffen agrees to be the moderator for the Conclave. His prime function is to keep the diverse parties from brawling with each other. However, when one of the conventioneers is murdered, someone insures Griffen looks like the culprit. Out of respect for their host and to keep the human police from meddling in supernatural species affair, the Conclave search for the killer.
Because Griffen is atypical of the dragon species, he has many diverse supernatural friends who come through for him when he is framed. That paranormal support cast is three dimensional with the various groups containing radically different overarching personalities; while within a group multiplicity exists just not as lucid. The whodunit is fun sort of a paranormal version of Fritz Lang's M with the supernatural hunting the killer instead of the criminals.

Sad when it ended...
3 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
After I read the first book in this series, I knew I would want to buy the sequels as soon as they were available. This one is a quick read, is fast-paced, accessible, and the characters are very real. The ending just cries out for a sequel, but since I didn't read the book jacket until after I read the book, I didn't learn until it was too late that the author had died and that I was likely reading the last in the series. The difference between 4 and 5 stars is, to me,is that since it doesn't look like there will be a 3rd book, this one ends a bit abruptly.

I was very disappointed, I didn't even finish it. It was too winded and boring. I am not sure Robert Asprin wrote any of it.
