What is The Dragons of Babel about?
<p> A fantasy masterpiece from a five-time Hugo Award winner!</p><p>A war-dragon of Babel crashes in the idyllic fields of a post-industrialized Faerie and, dragging himself into the nearest village, declares himself king and makes young Will his lieutenant. Nightly, he crawls inside the young fey's brain to get a measure of what his subjects think. Forced out of his village, Will travels with female centaur soldiers, witnesses the violent clash of giants, and acquires a surrogate daughter, Esme, who has no knowledge of the past and may be immortal. </p><p>Evacuated to the Tower of Babel-infinitely high, infinitely vulgar, very much like New York City-Will meets the confidence trickster Nat Whilk. Inside the Dread Tower, Will becomes a hero to the homeless living in the tunnels under the city, rises as an underling to a haint politician, meets his one true loveâa high-elven woman he dare not aspire to.</p><p>You've heard of hard SF: This is hard fantasy from a master of the form.</p>
