It slots in neatly after the epic and highly accomplished War of the Lance series from Weis and Hickman. Each of the five stories is standalone and in each episode the sons and daughters of the original heroes are explored and given an opportunity to taste adventure. The stories don't capture the magic of the full books from Weis and Hickman, but hint at the flavour they contained. As such, Second Generation might be a disappointment to those expecting anything epic, since these tales are not designed to be so in any way. They serve as stepping stones which add some interesting back-story but little more. Definitely for fans, not a book to read otherwise. ( )Wow, After reading the annontated legends I felt I should read some of the new dragonlance books that I never got around to. This was a great one. Reading this was the most enjoyable reading I've had in a long time. I'll definately read more, but I really need to read another technical book. 0.018 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786902604, Mass Market Paperback)Years have passed since the end of the War of the Lance. The people of Ansalon have rebuilt their lives, their houses, their families. The Companions of the Lance, too, have returned to their homes, raising children and putting the days of their heroic deeds behind them. But peace on Krynn comes at a price. The forces of darkness are ever vigilant, searching for ways to erode the balance of power and take control. When subtle changes begin to permeate the fragile peace, new lives are drawn into the web of fate woven around all the races. The time has come to pass the sword -- or the staff -- to the children of the Lance. They are the Second Generation. An all-new repackaged paperback edition of a classic Dragonlance novel. This book of five novellas bridges the gap between the Chronicles and Legends trilogies and Dragons of Summer Flame. While detailing their adventures, The Second Generation also sets up key events and characters in future Dragonlance novels.
