Compare Talindor's Guest by Charles J McGarry, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

BLURB: "Along the many complex currents of existence lies a bleak, desolate planet. Once densely populated, lush with vegetation, and teeming with life, it now lies barren and forsaken; evidence of years of marauding by a great and powerful dragon. To this world an equally powerful being has arrived, traveling the currents with his magic. The Traveler soon discovers that he must entertain a very finicky dragon in exchange for his life, and only the most extraordinary stories will suffice. He may escape, yet there is a chance his travels may have come to an end. Such is the dilemma of Talindor's Guest." DESCRIPTION: Talindor's Guest is essentially an anthology of short fantasy fiction, but yet it is so much more than that. The short stories are wrapped up and encapsulated in the grand story of a powerful sorcerer who, while travelin the pathways of time and multiple universes, happens on the home of a great and destructive dragon. The dragon clearly wants to make the traveler his next meal, but the two strike an accord. The traveler will regale the dragon with an account of his many travles in exchange for being release from the dragon's lair. The traveler, however, is not all that he seems to be either. Fantastic beasts, perilous events, powerful magic, suspense, and intrigue, all await the reader of Talindor's Guest. | Talindor's Guest by Charles J McGarry, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
