Dragon companion by Don Callander

A fun escapist read.

Tom is waiting for his train at the Capitol Hill Metro when he suddenly realizes that he's arrived in another, very unfamiliar, place. Before he has totally collected his wits Tom meets Retruance Constable who just happens to be a Dragon and the adventures begin. There's magic and damsels in distress and a wicked guardian just to mention a few elements. This was an impulse choice from the library's uncatalogued paperback shelves and I didn't know what to expect but I would definitely read something else by Callander.… (more)

Dragon Companion by Don Callander

I've had one from this series, a late one, for a while. It's interesting, but I always felt a little confused - had a hard time figuring out relationships and the like. This is the first one in the series, I like it, I understand a lot more and now I want to read the whole series. I like his Mancer series too. Not wonderful books, but very readable.
