Tor Double #28: A Short Sharp Shock / The Dragon Masters
Synopsis
A Short Sharp Shock:
A man tumbles through wild surf, half drowned, to collapse on a moonlit beach. When he regains consciousness, he has no memory of who he is or where he came from. he know only that the woman who washed ashore with him has disappeared sometime in the night, and that he has awakened in a surreal landscape of savage beauty -- a mysterious watery world encircled by a thin spine of land. Aided by strange tribesmen, he will journey to the cove of the spine kings, a brutal race that has enslaved the woman and several of the tribesmen. That is only the beginning of his quest, as he struggles to find her identity in this wondrous and cruel land -- and seeks out the woman whose hold on his imagination is both unfathomable and unshakable.
The Dragon Masters:
The race of man is growing old, but it's not yet ready to die - not while there are dragons still to kill!
The cross-bred dragon armies of the Men of Aerlith are the most appalling horrors ever to threaten the sanity of our future:
Termagents ~ three hundred reptilian giants with six legs apiece, the most fecund breeders of them all
Jugglers ~ eighteen of them, growling amongst themselves, waiting for an opportunity to snap off a leg from any unwary groom
Murderers (striding and long-horned) ~ eighty-five of each, with scaly tails and eyes like crystals
Fiends ~ fifty-two powerful monsters, their tails tipped with spike steel balls
Blue Horrors, Basics, Spider Dragons...
