Book description
Earth is flat, empty, weary, and bare.
Her children, too, had left her, all but a few who lived peacefully
off the land. And then came the Kar-Chee, to crack Earth open and suck
out what remained of her richness, threatening the twilight of th old
planet with an evil beyond anything that had gone before. With them
they brought their servants, beasts so creul and horrible that men
could recall their like only from ancestral nightmares, and named them
“Dragons . . .”
