The Dragon on the Border

by Gordon R. Dickson

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.
