In this, the 18th outing in Martha Grimes's popular series featuring Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard Jury and his aristocrat pal Melrose Plant, Jury, recuperating from a near-fatal shooting (The Blue Last) hears about the two-year-old abduction of his doctor's talented young daughter, Nell Ryder, who disappeared from her grandfather's stud farm, along with a champion thoroughbred horse. Pursuing the stalled investigation when he's released from the hospital, Jury stumbles on a complicated scheme involving murder, insurance fraud, and a scheme to replicate a popular menopause drug derived from the urine of pregnant mares. As readers of this popular series know, while there's a mystery at the heart of every Jury novel, the real payoff is in Grimes's lucent prose, wit, and complex characterizations. Fans of British mystery writer Dick Francis, who's made the world of thoroughbreds his own turf, will find this a delightful diversion, particularly since Francis recently announced his retirement from the genre. --Jane Adams

Hold the Premarin !!!!.......2007-07-22
This book, while dull, was eye opening about the abuse that the US's drug companies are allowed to get away with. In the book they were concerned about the horse's quality of life - but actually what are the drug companies doing to damage & destroy people's health in their quest for profit!?! Think about it.
no more Martha.......2007-03-04
I can't remember when I was more angry at the ending of a book. When I finished THE GRAVE MAURICE I swore that I would never read another Martha Grimes book, and so far I haven't. I admit I miss Richard Jury and Melrose Plant as I would any other old friends, but I am tired of endings that feel like a kick in the stomach! So, no more Martha. I will find new friends elsewhere.
A Grave rewrite is needed.......2005-05-27
Well, I'm not sure how to begin. While the back cover synopsis is intriguing, the execution leaves something to be desired. The book was by far one of the least well written that I've read. Grimes is constantly going off on tangents that seem to have no bearing on the story. I found myself lost several times and having to go back and figure out what was supposed to be happening.
The only reason I gave this book 2 stars instead of one was that the author seemed to get back on track for the last 50-75 pages.
Overall, I cannot recommend this book and will only give the author one more try before "writing" her off completely.
Not her best.......2004-09-12
I have read all her books. Obviously, I love her writing. But I have real problems with this one. Two incredible plot contrivances and a horrific ending really spoiled this brew for me.
Still, it's Martha Grimes, one of the best, most erudite mystery writers of our time. I guess everybody has to throw in a stinker from time to time.
A wonderful, thought provoking book.......2004-08-31
This is a book which grabs your attention from the beginning. I had avoided it because I thought the subject matter would bother me. I can't stand to read about animals in pain. But I managed to persevere and really enjoyed it. I have to confess that I hated the ending, but I could see how it fit the book. I have looked up Premarin on the internet. It is as awful as portrayed in the book. Humans are anything but, I'm afraid.

Pure Delight.......2001-01-14
This is truly a wonderful book. I notice it is being reprinted in Spanish, but not in English. Publishers take note and bring this charming book back!
fantastic.......2000-01-05
Wish this book would be reprinted! I can't believe it's no longer available. Anything with illustrations by Maurice Sendak is great. It is suspenseful, with sly humor. I read it to many classrooms and kids loved it. Bring it back.
MY childhood Favorite.......1999-12-11
I had this as a child and I have looked for years to find a copy to give my niece and nephews. I know they are big readers and I wanted them to have the same experience I had with this book. It is one of the fondest memories of my childhood and I will not give up the hope of finding a copy.
The Big Green Book was my favorite childhood book.......1999-10-05
I loved this book and have never forgotten it. I remember it as a book that you would read while sitting in a secret place on a rainy day. It was very much like having a secret friend. I wish it was back in print - a big, green hardcover book.
One of the great children's books ever.......1999-07-18
I too had this when I was a kid, and re-read it so many times that it fell apart. There was something about the wit and charm of both story and illustrations that was just adult enough to make me feel sophisticated that I could get it, but childish enough to be endlessly appealing. BRING IT BACK, please!

Book Description
A degree of interest in pioneering the West of any locality in which one lives is enviable. As time passes, more interest is, therefore, attached to it. Hopefully, it will awaken old-timers, and those descended from Pioneer stock. Determination and untiring efforts put forth by Pilgrim Fathers who desired to find a better way of life.
This book offers no fiction from a religious or scientific standpoint, nor in poise of a hero, or self praise. It is simple in style and diction.
The conclusion brings the closing incidents down to a recent date and finishes in brief the biography of Maurice Graves Emery. Memories and imagination are great contributors to personal values and consideration for humankind. This story is about a long life of more than eighty-six years.
Book Description
The Great War has ended-but there's no peace for battle-hardened Hal Kailas. In his bleak, ravaged homeland, even his marriage to Lady Khiri no longer brings solace. And Hal's worst fears are coming to pass as the dragonmasters-and the magnificent beasts they once flew-are cast off like relics of a misbegotten age. Old enemies have savagely returned. With his loyal comrades, Hal must turn back this terrible scourge that threatens man and beast alike in one last, ultimate battle- whose outcome is far from certain.

Military strategy.......2007-08-27
The military strategy was outstanding and throwing dragons into the mix made it more interesting.
Interesting take on fantasy genre.......2007-02-16
I am usually not a military fiction reader, but I did get hooked on this series from the first book, Dragonmaster. I devoured the first two books and can't wait to get the third.
For hard core sword and scorcery fans, you do have to get used to some of the "modernisms" that the author used. Sometimes the dragons seem to be nothing more than fighter planes, which I guess what the author intended. But his characters are strongly built and very real. The effect of war on people and countries tweaks your compassion.
I am curious though on the cover of the new edition, if the artist even read the series....or did I miss some of the fire-breathing dragon battles.
Like fantasy thats not cookie cutter, pick this up you'll enjoy it!
superb military fantasy .......2006-03-08
The war of attrition between the kingdom of Deraine and Roche has been bloody with both sides willing to send pawns to death to gain a slight edge. Entire units are treated as fodder to move a position forward a few miles. Neither side will grudgingly give an inch though the decision makers remain comfortable far from the deadly front lines.
Dragon Master Hal Kailas knows first hand how bad the war has depleted his forces as his side slowly loses the entrenched ground war and Roche begins to show superiority in the skies with their black dragon riders. Kailas has to find an answer even as he squabbles with his superior officer Asir the King who refuses to listen to supply inadequacies including a dragon shortage and a lack of trained soldiers. He must emulate the enemy and take the war to their civilian populace. Meanwhile his adversaries make a concerted effort to catch the Deraine war hero with plans to lock him away in magical binds inside a death camp as a demoralizer aimed at his people.
As with the first Dragonmaster tale (see STORM OF WINGS), there are obvious comparisons to the trench warfare and aerial fights of WWI and the civilian attacks of WWII, but set in a fantasy realm. The story line showcases the fortunes and foibles of armed combat; highlighted by the concept that peaceful solutions are for the naive while the realist errs on the side of someone else's death. However, as the tale spins its moral issues, the key characters even Hal never seem to have learned anything from their previous adventures. Still KNIGHTHOOD OF THE DRAGON is a superb military fantasy that will have the audience looking forward to the reprint of the LAST BATTLE.

Customer Reviews:
Don't bother, unless you loved the first two books........2005-09-03
I have been reading Chris Bunch books since the start of the Sten series in 1982. I would give most of his older novels 4 stars. I was reluctant to buy "Dragonmaster" after reading Chris Bunch's mediocre Star Risk, Ltd. novels. The third book in that series, "The Doublecross Program," is Chris Bunch's poorest novel.
I decided to buy the Storm of Wings Trilogy (now renamed as the Dragonmaster series) after reading many favorable reader reviews. Unfortunately, I do not agree with most reviewers and give the books only three stars. The main theme of the first two books (the development of dragons as weapons of war similar to what happened with biplanes and triplanes in World War I) is interesting, but the pacing is erratic, many of the key characters are boring, and the moral questions (mostly about 'progressing' towards "total war") seem forced. The inclusion of magic just muddles the stories, especially since the magicians are unimpressive.
The first book is the best of the three. Reading the second book is necessary to finish the story. The third book is optional (the war ended in the second book), but it should not be read without reading the previous two. This third (and presumably final) book deals with the aftermath of war: what happens to the warriors and their dragon steeds? In this case, as the title implies, they look for another battle (or two, or three, or four...).
A fitting ending.......2005-06-06
The first book, Storm of Wings, began with a typical boy-runs-away-from-home-turned-adventurer, except that the boy did not get apprenticed to powerful wizards nor warriors but learned to ride a dragon before getting conscripted into the war. He had enough sense and survived the war to become a veteran. After his unit got wiped out, the second part of the book began with heavy resemblance to WE Johns Biggles stories in the World War One when (military) aviation was in its infancy.
In fact, the whole development of the war and the stalemates were lifted almost directly from the events of World War One with disastrous results in attempts of breakthrough. Those familiar with the Great War could identify Somme as well as Gallipoli.
The second book Knighthood of the Dragon continued the war between Dermaine (Britain) and Sagene (France) on one side, and Roche (Germany) on the other. Here, the author adapted an episode from World War Two - The Great Escape. Eventually, Hal Kailas's side managed to break through and take the war into the lands of the Roche, despite it being slow going. The change of the nature of warfare in real world history to include destruction of civilian properties in order to starve the enemy into submission was also reflected. Hal Kailas ended the war as a hero and a lord.
The final book - The Last Battle, began with the end of the war. Veteran Hal Kailas who found himself enriched and ennobled found frustrations as he could not find a new meaning in his life - leading to the estrangement with his wife. He finally sought to do something - to repay the dragons for their contributions to the war, by finding out what caused the dragons to flee from their original unknown homelands across the Great Sea.
In this series, dragons were depicted as little more than aerial steeds adapted for war, with hardly more than animal intelligence. The dragons did not speak, breath fire nor cast magic. In fact, mankind had little fear of them, finding them nuisance to animal husbandry and even bully their youngs. The dragons did not have sufficient intelligence to recognise their innate advantages.
Hal put together an expedition to sail to find the mysterious original homeland of the dragons.
SPOILERS follows!
After some adventures, Hal discovered the dragons were fleeing demons. This could be taken directly from the movie Evolution, whereby an alien entity (the demon) entered the world, and began multiplying itself, taking the forms of the mightiest creature it encountered, through a series of speedy evolution.
While there was nothing really original in the series, the author's attention to details and ability to answer questions in the readers' mind through his narration was to be commended.
The author indeed convinced us that the "heroes" in the book knew what they were doing instead of being small-minded characters.
Book Description
In this compelling sequel to
Storm of Wings, Hal finds himself pitted against an enemy that not even a flight of dragons may be able to destroy.

The war grinds on..........2004-01-20
In another much-better-than-usual book, Chris Bunch continues the saga of Hal Kailas, Dragon Master. This story is really deserving of more than four stars, but isn't quite up to a five-star rating, though it's close. Too bad there isn't an option for a four-and-a-half-star rating.
Anyway, on to the review:
Hal Kailas has come a long way from the vagabond runaway he was, to advance man for a traveling troupe of entertainers, to calvary sergeant, to combat dragon rider. Along the way he's seen triumph and disaster, has visited death upon his enemy, and been chased by death himself. The long-awaited war has brought Hal's kingdom of Deraine, with it's Sagene allies, to a death-grip with it's Roache foe. The war isn't going well for anyone, with both sides embraced in a lethal wrestling match of attrition. When one side comes up with a new tactic, it is immediately countered by the other side, and the blood-letting continues unabated with little advantage to either side. Whole armies are sent forward into the teeth of prepared enemy positions, and are consumed. Regiments and divisions are annihilated for the possession of a few square miles one day, only to have enemy regiments and divisions pay a similar price to recover that same territory the very next day.
In this grinding, deadly environment, the Dragon Master Kailas struggles to overcome a lack of resources, a dearth of replacements, and the dedicated enmity of the opposing Roche dragon riders. Endlessly innovative in finding new ways to deal death to his foes, Hal becomes the focus of the best Roache rider and his flight of black dragons. Reminiscent of the aerial rivalries of the First World War, base raids and ambush from on high mix with challenges to personal duels. Advantage passes from one side to the other in a sea-saw contest for supremacy, and all will hang in the balance as men of determination press their courage and will to the utmost. Scruples and inhibitions will be abandoned as desperation makes acceptable acts of wholesale destruction that were once unthinkable. The war will grow to swallow innocents and soldiers alike, and in the midst of all this, treason and imprisonment will reach out to embrace the Dragon Master.
How will Deraine triumph, when it's most dedicated and effective defenders tumble from the skies?
Of course, I'm not going to give away the entire plot, so you'll just have to read it for yourself. As with the previous book, Storm Of Wings, I find myself comparing and contrasting this book to World War One and Two, and that colors my perceptions of the story. Chris Bunch has deliberately inserted the colors of the Great War into the narrative, with countryside denuded and left curiously intact in turn, as the fickle fortunes of war dictate. Whole cultures are crumbling under the demands of a war of survival, and heroes loom larger in the public mind as the populace looks desperately for some sign of victory and relief from the dreary prospect of yet more death. As in the previous book, I find myself detached from Hal as he relates the story of his adventures and misadventures. That distance from the hero is my only quibble with the story, and is the only reason I don't give this story a full five-star rating.
Read it!
Return to dragon action.......2003-09-28
With this and the preceeding book, Chris Bunch has written some of the best dragon action stories available today (see the end). His work stands up quite well against the icon of dragon stories; Anne McCaffrey.
Chris Bunch brings military knowledge and nuance to add real depth to his plot, settings, and action; as he has in his Star Risk and Last Legion series. I especially liked the super-position of World War I aerial war development onto dragon riders at war. The bad guys (the Roche, not the Boche) even had technical air superiority (black dragons over the local domestic green dragons in lieu of Fokkers vs the Spads), and a titled leader. The analogy can be carried too far; I don't think the Red Baron's brother was sleeping with the Kaiser. The ground war is (thankfully) kept as germain to the plot development; the flyboys (& gals) didn't win it all single-handedly.
This is not a slam on Michael Stackpole's Dragoncrown War Cycle (DWC). The DWC is less about dragons (at least in the first three books) than it is about people and cultures fighting to control a vital resource. These are also an excellent read!

Book Description
The first novel in the acclaimed Dragonmaster Trilogy.
Young Hal Kailas is a runaway and a pauper, living hand-to-mouth in a kingdom where peace is by no means certain. But Hal has a dream. In his even younger days, he had the awesome experience of bonding with a young dragon-and the memory of the beast's great strength and power consumes his every thought.When war finally comes, the most daring and ruthless of men will ride these fearsome dragons-monstrous weapons of war that rule the sky. Few men are strong enough to bend a dragon's will, but Hal, who has reason to think he may be one of them, will prove to be the greatest Dragon Master of them all.

Trite and boring.......2007-08-27
After reading Dragonmaster, I was appalled to find this writer, Chris Bunch, had the audacity to write more than this one book. His characters are neither likable on unlikable, the writing over all is trite and lacking and disjointed. As to magic, it seems as though he threw it in as an afterthought as in, "oh yeah, I'm writing a fantasy novel. There should be magic!" His descriptions are simply not there from the character of the weather to the content of the battle grounds. In one scene, the main character sees an enemy soldier standing over three of his fellow soldiers and kills the enemy soldier. No description of the action, no reaction from the enemy soldier as if he's just standing there waiting to be killed by the main character. All in all, if you're thinking about buying this book, don't and move on to better fare.

This should be the book you take to the beach or read for pure entertainment. Better than some stupid inane romance novel. I was given this book to read while recovering from extensive surgury. Thank God because even though I am a chick, I love a good battle. I can hardly wait to read the other books in this series.

fantastic sword and sorcery .......2005-08-03
On his way home Hal Kailas saw the lord's son Nanpean torture a baby dragon; he punches the boy and takes the kit back to his mother. Hal's family is in danger of losing their tavern for Hal's actions so he leaves the village of Caerly in the Kingdom of Deraine. He becomes a vagabond, wandering from job to the job, never finding anything that interested him until he becomes the goferr for a traveling troupe that sells dragon rides.
Hal knows he wants to do something with dragons on his own. However, the Queen of Roche uses a land dispute to go to war with Deraine and Sagene. Hal t is conscripted and rises to the occasion to become a leader of men. When his troops are massacred, Hal enlists to be trained to fight on dragons in a new unit. His exploits and daring earn him the hearts and admiration of the populace but the war costs him that what he treasures most. When he is injured, instead of mustering out like the king expects him to, Hal volunteers to lead a new dragon unit as their Dragonmaster.
This book is filled with plenty of action and will appeal to readers who love military fantasy. The use of dragons and magicians to aid in the war effort is so much a part of the storyline that readers will find themselves believing that such things are really possible in wartime. As the hero matures, he and the audience observe the toll of war as humans and dragons die at an alarming rate. Chris Bunch is a talented storyteller who entertains his audience with a fantastic sword and sorcery epic.
