Dinosaurs & A Dirigible
David Drake
Baen, Sep 2 2014, $14.00
ISBN 9781476736839
This anthology contains reprints of the fun four Henry Vickers
(first time together) time traveling dinosaur era hunter novellas (King Tyrant
Lizard, Calibration Run, Time Safari and Boundary Layer) and a fifth fine but
filler entry (Travelers) in which he does not
appear in the dirigible. The
Vickers sagas take readers to the predatory prehistoric era as the safari guide
learns first hand who The Most Dangerous Game (Richard
Connell) in history is while hunting dinosaurs and in one case hominid. The non-Vickers addition occurs in 1897 when
two teen Travellers have adventures crossing the United States in an airship captained by a seemingly eccentric
genius. Dinosaurs & A Dirigible is a
delightful read.
