The Search for Power: Dragons from the War of Souls

Similar in approach to the earlier Search for Magic (in which I note, for full disclosure of any potential bias, I had a story), The Search for Power: Dragons from the War of Souls probably does a somewhat better job of matching its title, with pretty much all of the stories, many by Dragonlance veterans, focusing on dragons in and about the period of the War of Souls. As is typical for these anthologies, styles and quality vary somewhat and each reader will have their own favorites. Among my favorites were "Loyalty" by Richard Knaak, "Inventory" by Jean Rabe, and "The Albino" by Doug Niles. Weaker stories included "Special Delivery" by Jeff Grubb (gnomes seem to be getting downright stupid, as opposed to just pre-occupied by their inventions, which is just not to my taste, though the writing is fine if that view of gnomes works for you) and "Marine Skies" by Lucien Soulban (lots of description, but still too confusing too often for me). All in all, worth the price if you are a fan of Dragonlance's War of Souls. Donald J. Bingle, Author of Forced Conversion.
