Resumen del Editor
Through no fault of his own, the once human Jim Eckert had become a dragon. Unfortunately, his beloved Angie had remained human. But in this magical land anything could happen.
To make matter worse, Angie had been taken prisoner by an evil dragon and was held captive in the impenetrable Loathly Tower. So in this land where humans were edible and beasts were magical - where spells worked and logic didn't-- Jim Eckert had a big, strange problem.

For a game, the gods have given the world 12 Swords of Power so that they might be amused as the nations battle for their possession. But Vulcan the Smith has had his own little joke: the Swords can kill the gods themselves. What started out as Divine Jest has become all too serious as the gods fight to recover the Swords, and mortals discover that the mantle of power is more delicious and more terrible than anything they could have imagined.

Four decades after the Oblivion Crisis, Tamriel is threatened anew by an ancient and all-consuming evil. It is Umbriel, a floating city that casts a terrifying shadow-for wherever it falls, people die and rise again. And it is in Umbriel's shadow that a great adventure begins and a group of unlikely heroes meet. A legendary prince with a secret. A spy on the trail of a vast conspiracy. A mage obsessed with his desire for revenge. And Annaïg, a young girl in whose hands the fate of Tamriel may rest.

Returning to the milieu of his Swords trilogy, Saberhagen offers a new scenario. The gods have withdrawn from the human world and the 12 Swords of Power they had forged are now scattered, lost and hidden. The weapons are still coveted, though, by men like Baron Amintor, who has lost one kingdom and now sees them as the means to another. No scruples stop him from stealing the sword Woundhealer from the White Temple, where its powers were offered to cure all pilgrims.

It all began when the wizards of the White League were under attack by their opponents of the Black League and one of their most powerful members cast a spell to bring forth a mighty wizard to aid their cause. What the spell delivered was master hacker Walter "Wiz" Zumwalt. But spells are a lot like computer programs, and, in spite of the Wiz's unprepossessing appearance, he was going to defeat the all-powerful Black League, win the love of a beautiful red-haired witch, and prove that when it comes to spells and sorcery, nobody but nobody can beat a Silicon Valley computer geek!

The Sun Dragon spawned nine lesser dragons which devoured their parent for the power the elder possessed. These young dragons fought for choice bits of the Sun Dragon, but each only managed to eat a portion, thus giving them specific powers. Over time, these foul dragons were hunted down and slain by heroes of old.

Their peace was a fragile thing, but it had endured for seven years, mostly because the people of Darassus and the king of the Naor hordes believed his doom was foretold upon the edge of the great sword hung in the hall of champions. Unruly Naor clans might raid across the border, but the king himself would never lead his people to war so long as the blade remained in the hands of his enemies. But when squire Elenai’s aging uncovers evidence that the sword in their hall is a forgery, she’s forced to flee Darassus for her life, her only ally the reckless, disillusioned Kyrkenall.

The great city of Ebora once glittered with gold. Now its streets are stalked by wolves.

Refreshing, with a questionable performance
What did you love best about The Dragon and the George?
The characters
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dragon and the George?
The banter between Aaragh and Sir Brian
What does Paul Boehmer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He attempts to have specific voices for some characters, but as the story progresses, he appears to either give up on some characters and make them sound like some others.... or wasn't interested in giving specific characters specific voices from the beginning. It does break immersion slightly and sometimes it makes it more difficult to remember who is talking to whom.
Any additional comments?
This book is so far unlike most young adult fantasy book series I have read and that is refreshing to me. I mean, where else do you get a story of an American trapped in the body of a not too bright Dragon with companions of a Talking Pragmatic Giant "English" Wolf(I keep imagining a top hat and a monocle even though the character obviously doesn't wear such things), the stereotypical honorable but poor Knight, and a Robin hood like fellow

Still Reads Well Forty Years Later
I read this book in high school and stumbled across it again in audio format and decided to give it another read. I had very good (but limited) memories of the novel. A guy gets stuck in a dragon’s body when he tries to follow his fiancé through a science experiment gone bad. After that, it’s pretty much a fantasy adventure with some scientific understanding thrown in.
Second time around, I still enjoyed it. It’s a pretty good adventure story which, forty years ago, would have felt fresher than it does today. There are a number of good characters and a decent problem to be resolved. I may give the sequels a chance.

Human to dragon conversion
The Dragon and the George is Gordon R Dickson first installment in his Dragon Knight series. A young academic finds himself inhabiting the body of a dragon after attempting to recover his girlfriend lost in some alternate realm because of psychic experiment gone bad. In this alternate world dragon fight human (referred to as 'Georges'). He gradually acquires an eclectic group of companions performing some side gigs along the way, until the dark force keeping his girl a prisoner is faced and defeated. Ultimately, he elects to remain in this realm, but as a human form with occasional reversion.
Dickson's flow is a little jerky as the tale starts out with a struggling junior academic getting screwed over by everyone. The basic form of his dragon phase is a classic road trip, picking up oddballs along the way, each with a unique skill set that comes in useful. Most unusual is the nature of magic in the realm which operates under the control of an equivalent Federal Reserve. This may have worked better in the 70's, while today, it's a bit quaint and somewhat odd.
The narration is good with reasonable character distinction and smooth pacing.

A classic brought to life
I remember reading and enjoying this when it first went into print (a little while back in the 70's) so maybe I was expecting more, and whilst it's not bad it was not what i was exactly expecting. This maybe because due to reading the series several times in the past or the narrator.
Whilst the narrator is far from bad it took me a bit to get used to him, again this might be me and not a reflection on the narrator.
This series pretty much follows the standard fantasy formula but does it very well and does deviate from that formula in a witty and irreverent and you soon find yourself transported into a new world with its own rules and characters.
I would recommend this book and series to all who enjoy a good fantasy, this is also one of Dicksons better series at least in my opinion

For younger audience
I feel this was intended your a younger audience.
Very slow story. Explained everything down to each detail, very slowly at that.
Characters are good but the story could have been a short story.

the dragon and the George
what a clever story idea! very interesting and fun. lots of humor and imagination! the performance was good. sounded a little read rather than performed but I think it was just different than what I was used to. definitely reading the next book!!!

Nice story, too many superlatives
The basis and approach to the story is very nice. Reads like a melodrama, so subtle references are hard to catch between exaggerated dire dialogue
