About this ebook

In New York Times bestselling author Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye’s newest Big Easy dragon tale, Griffen McCandles is about to give the forces of evil a run for their money…

Griffen already has his hands full running his gambling operation in New Orleans and dealing with his dragon heritage. Now his pregnant sister, Valerie, is missing—possibly kidnapped—and his uncle, Malcolm McCandles, has flown into town for a mysterious meeting with a powerful man who’s been dead for almost eight decades.

And Griffen certainly hasn’t got the time to protect Councilwoman Penny Dunbar, a dragon who’s running for governor of Louisiana—if malign forces don’t take her out first. Griffen learned a long time ago to play the hand fate has dealt him, but with many lives at stake—including Val’s unborn dragon—he’s hoping for an ace in the hole…

So apparently neither of the authors, their assistants, or their editors bothered to re-read the previous books in the series before getting into this one. There are a /lot/ of plot inconsistencies in the intro chapters, so many that I'm not sure I want to spend my money on it. The most glaring is the most needless; the first book begins with Griffin applying for a job with his uncle, immediately after graduating college. A couple of days later, he moves to New Orleans. The last book ends a day or two after Mardi Gras - Griffin's first Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Many, many, many times the fact that this is/was his first Mardi Gras is underlined and/or stated outright throughout the book. This book begins by saying Griffin has been more than a year in New Orleans - and repeats that "fact" several times in the sample chapters. Absolutely unnecessary inconsistency. And hardly the only one. It's possible that the others are necessary for the plot, so I won't try to describe them, and it's likely that the book is entertaining - Asprin & Nye are both consistent about that. But it's irritating, to say the least.
