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.
after test of the twins, comes the second generation I was told by a friend that this book was not as good as chronicles or legends. So I didn't buy it or read it.
I've found that to have been a mistake, since the book it very good. It binds together events happening in the test of the twins and the dragons of summer flame. It may not involve the old heroes of the lance as much as previous books but brings fort new heroes, and foes.
I'd recommend this book to any dragonlance reader.
Good Book This was a good book. Seeing how the Queen of Darkness is trying to take over the world again but with a new set of heroes. The children of the main characters in the Dragonlance Chronicles are definately spit images of their parents. Heroic hearts combined with honed skills and excellent dialogue.
Decent book... but more a prologue than a novel while i did enjoy this book.. it was a bit choppy but it sets up a great book in Dragons of Summer Flame... you can read summer flame without reading this but it would make alot more sense if you did... i would recommend it
A must for Dragonlance fans! Ive read many of Weis and Hickman Dragonlance novels. I fell in love with the world of Kryn instantly. Although this book is made up of short stories about the the hero's of the lance children, each story is well written. Some stories do have a some what abrupt end which leads you to wonder what will become of the characters in the future books, but thats all part of Weis and Hickmans massive plot weaving style.The focus of the stories seem to be around Caramons kids, but there are 2 others that were quite a shock to me....sorry no spoiler here... This book should NOT be read as a first introduction into the world of Dragonlance but a must for DL readers and fans.
Good for new readers to the DL setting who want to limit their spending. Nearly all of the stories here are reprinted from the "Tales" and "Tales II" trilogies. As these have recently been reprinted (together as a six-book series instead of 2 trilogies) the only reason to get this book is to get the key stories that are pivotal to the core storyline.
