From Booklist
In the first book of the new Dragonmaster series, Hal Kailas grows from a callow 13-year-old, fascinated by the dragons living in the crags just above his isolated village, into a battle-savvy Dragonmaster. Dragooned into the Derain army, Hal faces his first blooding in the cavalry during the vicious war against the Roche. After he becomes the sole survivor of his unit, he joins the dragon fliers, with whom his astuteness, bravery, and capability earn him promotion and honor. But his main concern lies with wreaking revenge for the deaths of his cavalry comrades. The action in this series-opener is nonstop and violent, with many deaths attributable to the stupidity of those responsible for running the war. Despite a victory at the end, readers know, along with Hal, that the war and the killing have only begun. Bunch's military background stands him in good stead as he concocts strategy and depicts battle in the air and on the ground. A good bet for military sf and fantasy fans. Sally Estes
