Dragon Rigger
Carver, Jeffrey A
This intricate but bloated sequel to Dragons in the Stars blends
two highly original universes, one SF, one fantasy. The Flux is the
mutable hyperspace used by "riggers"--space-pilots--to cover
interstellar distances. Somewhere in the Flux is a magical realm
inhabited by talking dragons and other fantastic creatures who are
locked in a cataclysmic war with a force known as the Nail of Strength.
Although struck a heavy blow in the last book, this entity has more than
recovered and now threatens even the universe beyond the Flux. The
dragons' only hope is the female rigger Jael, who has fought beside them
in the past and was prophesied to return as their savior. Jael is an
appealing heroine, but, given her centrality, she appears in too few
scenes. Despite a refreshingly unique setting and excellently realized
characters, Carver's fantasy plot is standard and predictable, dragging
on with little action and an excess of agonized internal monologues.
Though it has some emotionally powerful moments, this work is weaker
than its predecessor.
