Description
The Great War against the Roche is over. But the world is grey, battered, and the promise of peace never quite materialises for Hal Kailas. Even the joy has gone from the Dragonmaster's marriage, for reasons neither he nor Lady Khiri can determine. As predicted, with the end of the war not only dragon fliers, but dragons themselves have been cast aside. However, an old concern re-emerges ... what or who is savaging the dragons in their native lands? Enlisting trusted comrades, Hal embarks on show more a new crusade, and discovers a threat, not just to the dragons but to man himself. show lessTags

Frustrated and angry over the abandonment of both the dragon riders and their dragons after his homelands final victory, Hal hatches a plan of expedition and exploration. Before long he and a handpicked crew of men and dragons are off across the waters to the west.
Not exactly the conclusion that I was expecting, but a satisfying resolution just the same.

The only raison d'etre of this book was to be the third book of a trilogy.
This one is less obviously a alternate history... I think it's looking at 'Nam to be honest, but my history of that war is less good because it's not really a war we were closely involved in.
