Dragon Knight

Jim Eckert was a dragon. He hadn't planned it that way, but that's what happened when he set out to rescue his betrothed. Following her through an erratic astral-projection machine, Jim suddenly found himself in a cockeyed world - locked in the body of a talking dragon named Gorbash. That wouldn't have been so bad if his beloved Angie were also a dragon. But in this magical land, that was not the case. Angie had somehow remained a very female human - or a george, as the dragons called any human. And Jim, no matter what anyone called him, was a dragon. To make matters worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where georges were edible and beasts were magical - where spells worked and logic didn't - Jim Eckert had a problem. And he needed help, by george!

First there was "The Dragon and the George," Gordon R. Dickson's now-clissic tale of a twentieth-century American magically transported to an alternate medieval world-and transformed into a dragon to boot! Then "The Dragon Knight" continued the adventures of Jim Eckert-now Baron de Malencontriet Riveroak-in a fantastical England inhabited by talking wolves and evil sorcerers. Now, in "The Dragon on the Border." Sir James-the Dragon Knight-faces what may be the greatest challenge of his existence: The Hollow Men. Vengeful spirits of the dead, the Hollow Men, appear as empty suits of armor astride invisible mounts. But their weapons are real enough-as are their undying lusts for wine, gold and plunder. Worse yet, a slain Hollow Man can always be restored within two days-and as long as one of their unholy number endures, no Hollow Man can ever truly die... "The Dragon on the Border" marks Gordon R. Dickson's triumphant return with on of the most unusual heroes of modern phantasy.
