“In science fiction there is only a handful of books that stretch the mind—and this is one of them.”—Arthur C. Clarke In a moving story of sacrifice and triumph, human scientists establish a relationship with intelligent lifeforms—the cheela—living on Dragon’s Egg, a neutron star where one Earth hour is equivalent to hundreds of their years. The cheela culturally evolve from savagery to the discovery of science, and for a brief time, men are their diligent teachers. Praise for Dragon’s Egg “Bob Forward writes in the tradition of Hal Clement’s Mission of Gravity and carries it a giant step (how else?) forward.”—Isaac Asimov “Dragon’s Egg is superb. I couldn’t have written it; it required too much real physics.”—Larry Niven “This is one for the real science-fiction fan.”—Frank Herbert “Robert L. Forward tells a good story and asks a profound question. If we run into a race of creatures who live a hundred years while we live an hour, what can they say to us or we to them?”—Freeman J. Dyson “Forward has impeccable scientific credentials, and . . . big, original, speculative ideas.”—The Washington Post

Sir Mort engineers a class trip to a home for "olde" knights. But when the lads and lasses arrive, they discover that Sir Lancelot has decided he’s had enough of hacking and whacking and is ready for retirement himself. Find out how Erica (his most fervent admirer), Wiglaf, and the rest of the gang get Lancelot back in action, battling the feared Grizzlegore, the world’s oldest living dragon.

Wiglaf and his classmates come to appreciate their elders when they learn that only a group of retired knights can save their school from the world's oldest living dragon, Grizzlegore--if they can get back in shape in time.

When Mordred announces a three-day weekend for DSA, Wiglaf and his friends (including his Pig Latin–speaking pig, Daisy) are off to Erica’s castle. But when they arrive, they discover that Erica’s father, King Ken, has come down with a horrible case of liver pox. The wizard Zelnoc manages to cure the king’s pox, but as with all the wizard’s spells, there’s a magical mishap. Now, King Ken can only speak in Pig Latin! Can Zelnoc fix his mistake, or is there a better chance that pigs will fly?

Enjoy this epic fantasy adventure by USA Today bestselling author Nicole Zoltack where dragon riders rule the world for now at least. Dragon eggs aren’t supposed to hatch empty. Nicai hopes the stone will solve their problems, only it’s making matters worse. And then the darkness from the prophecy arrives in the form of Ryze, a tyrant who ruled Amaria a millennium ago. He’s always been power-hungry, and now that he’s been resurrected, he’s even more ruthless and cunning. Nicai’s and Koll’s dragons both are grounded, stricken by that strange illness. Can the two dragon hunters alone take on Ryze? Or will all hope be lost to the coming darkness?
