Dragon Eaters Heroika #1The art of dragon killing Dragons have been eating humans for centuries Now heroes throughout history stalk their legendary foe Learn how to hunt kill and eat the wild dragon Never before has revenge tasted so good A literary feast for the bloody minded In The English word 'Dragon' is descended from the Greek 'Drakon' or serpent and 'Draconta' or 'to see' It is fitting in homage to the great mythological beasts that many of them meet their end by being blindedHeroika takes us on a journey through time and through the minds of 17 authors all of whom have created a story in which the dragon sometimes an ally other times a foe is seen as formidable and mighty I did enjoy the anthology and found it showcased the skills of the authors who work with Janet Morris perfectly offering up bite sized chunks and definitely leaving a desire for of their worksThough all were fantastic with something to appeal to everyone my personal favourites though no surprise to anyone who knows me would have to be SE Lindberg's Legacy of the Great Dragon which is about Thoth and Poimandres and Travis Ludvigson’s Night Stalkers which features Charlemagne and Roland Both of these stories offer uniue twists on well known mythological figuresAuila of Oyos by Walter Rhein was refreshing in that it offered the point of view of the Dragon rather than the humans which are often just as monstrous if not I will also add that I enjoyed Red Rain by Will Hiles even though tales set in modern history last 300 years or so and futuristic stories are not my usual read
