Don Perrin does a fine job., January 4, 2001
This review is from: Draconian Measures (Dragonlance Kang's Regiment, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Draconian Measures (by Don Perrin with Margaret Weis) picks up where Doom Brigade left off. Kang's regiment have successfully hatched the female draconians and are now trying to protect them until they are mature enough to breed. The survival of the draconian race depends on it. This story is full of mystery as the goblins and hobgoblins, once allied with the draconians begin to attack in an orchestrated fashion, much more disciplined than goblins are apt to be. The discovery of another band of draconians gives Kang and his troops hope that there are many more of their kind in the world. Kang encounters a setback when he is forbidden to contact a group of Knights of Takhisis for help against the eminent goblin horde. Something strange is going on in the new camp of Draconians. Can Kang and his men find out what it is before it's too late? One of the most interesting aspects of this book is the introduction of the female draconian. Don and Margaret cover their special powers (slightly different from their male counterparts) and abilities. You can feel the draconians becoming a true race rather than a created species. They seem less evil because of it. They, like all other species, are just out to survive. An added bonus to Dungeons & Dragons players is the new 3rd edition statistics for draconians in the back of the book. If you enjoyed Doom Brigade or any of the other 5th Age Dragonlance books be sure to pick this one up.

Draconian Measures, January 6, 2002
This review is from: Draconian Measures (Dragonlance Kang's Regiment, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Draconian Measures definately lives up to its prequel, "The Doom Brigade". As with all Margaret Weis books, the writing is excellent, filled with great character and plot developement, intrigue, drama, and awesome fight scenes. Draconian Measures (as well as Doom Brigade) provides an actual look on the character and personalities of Draconians, instead of portraying them as brainless, feelingless, lizards like most other DL books. If you haven't already, buy both books; it's worth the money. I hope that Weis and Perrin write a third volume about the Draconians new civilization, to give some finality to the questionable fate of the Draconian race.

This was a GOOD book!, November 15, 2000
This review is from: Draconian Measures (Dragonlance Kang's Regiment, Vol. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an excellent sequel to the book Doom Brigade, also by Margaret Weis and Don Perrin. It explains the lives of the First Dragonarmy Engineers and the female draconians they rescued during the Chaos War from Thorbardin. It also gives more insight into the lives of draocnians, with the introductory of kapaks and auraks to the regiment's story. It also tells the story of the rise of the Free Draconian city of Teyr, and how Kang becomes governor. Sadly we lose an old friend, but this was a good book all the same, worthy sequel of Doom Brigade, which was my second Dragonlance book.
