Sorcery
Is the author any relation to Bob Scarborough Ferris? Also, something?s delicious, but the quote has been cut off by the top of the photo ? was it a quote from the now sated dragon?
Vincent Segrelles painted the cover, and I don?t think it?s a bad one. The dragon is a little heterodox, sure, but I view that as a plus. And that breathless sense of the moment just before milady plonks into the swamp in that nice dress is priceless.
I don?t think the dragon is the bad guy in this. See how calm the water is around him? He?s just leaning against a tree and chilling out. Sure he?s laughing a bit, but you can?t fault him for that.
I gotta agree with Yoss ? the croco-dragon?s probably too big to think much of humans as anything but hors d?oeuvres or entertainment. He?s hanging out in the river because he lives in the area, but also because he?s got a fantasy-equivalent-of-a-hippo carcass stashed underwater and is more than a little paranoid about someone stealing it before it ripens to his taste.
