  TNL Forum - Dragon Drive D-Masters Shot
Dragon Drive seems like a franchise that was conceived for the sole purpose of multimedia exploitation.
Since Dragon Drive is a franchise designed to sell overpriced collectible cards to children, these powerups take the form of...

The Dragon Masters was originally in Galaxy, August 1962.
Jack Vance is one of the greatest SF writers of all time, an SFWA Grand Master, an inimitable prose stylist, as individual a writer as anyone.
Both The Dragon Masters and The Last Castle are set in the far future, and both feature humans enslaving genetically modified aliens.

 Sword & Sorcery - your resource for fiction, interviews, articles, information and more
The Dragon Masters provides the reader with a sense of staggering scope within the space of a literary nutshell.
On the level of an action tale, The Dragon Masters delivers a thrilling climax that pits the Basics and their human-bred slaves, such as 'weaponers,' against the men of Aerlith and their multitude of dragons mutated from captured Basic stock.
The battles between dragons and genetic-supermen serve as gloss to a vision of a future of irreconcilable cerebral differences.

 The Tufted Shoot: June, 2002
These dragons at some point take on life (a point the details of which, unless I blinked and missed it, are skipped over: whether their life and personality is due to a soul that enters the frame at some point, or to a particularly advanced computer AI (or some combination of both) is unclear).
McCaffrey-haters may rest easy; these beasts are a welcome anodyne to the "dragons are our noble friends and protectors" wing of the SF guildhall, dedicated as they are to death and destruction and with nary a whiff of touchy-feely sentiment to be found.
The dragon wants something from her, and as she learns more about herself and the world, the dragon's ultimate purpose is also uncovered bit by bit.

 Jack Vance: The Dragon Masters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The Dragon Masters tells the story of Joaz Bambeck and his neighbor, Ervis Carcolo, both living on the alien world Aerlith, where humans have bred reptiles to be the ultimate fighting creatures.
Of course, there is more to The Dragon Masters than comparison to a series of books not begun until The Dragon Masters was already six years old.
The meat of this short novel is in the philosophies espoused by Bambeck, Carcolo, the sacerdotes and Bast Givven, Carcolo's chief dragon breeder who seems as if he might have some of the spark which sets Joaz Bambeck apart from the otehr men of Aerlith.

 The SF Site Featured Review: The Dragon Masters
These are "The Dragon Masters" (1962) and "The Last Castle" (1966).
The prose and characterization here is more effective than in "The Dragon Masters", but I thought the plot resolution less convincing.
It is worth noting that the text is based on that of the Vance Integral Edition, the result of a wonderful project to create, in 44 volumes, a corrected edition of all of Vance's work, under the supervision of the author himself.

 Ace Double Reviews 3
(Thus, The Dragon Masters was issued three times as an Ace Double, twice with The Five Gold Bands and once with The Last Castle.) Accounting for duplications, a total of 11 different Vance "books" were halves of Ace Doubles (including two story collections and a fixup).
The first Ace Double of The Dragon Masters backed with The Five Gold Bands was published in 1963.
That year "The Dragon Masters", which had appeared in the August 1962 Galaxy, won the Hugo for Best Short Fiction.

 GameStats: Dragon Drive: D-Masters Shot
Dragon Drive is based off a Japanese anime of the same name in which characters enter a virtual reality simulation where they use dragons to wage battle against other players.
Of course, this baby dragon and Reizi prove to be more than they initially seem, and end up as part of a more complex storyline involving an alternate dimension in which dragons really do exist.
You control your little dragon friend (who becomes big and magnificent just in time for battle) against other dragons.

 The Dragon Masters by Jack Vance
The Dragon Masters was his first Hugo Award-winning novel, one of only 50 or more Hugo Award-winning novels, and thus a true sf classic.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says, "He has a genius of place." Like Zelazny and Bester, he has had enduring appeal because his work was forward-thinking and radical for its time.
In The Dragon Masters, the first of ibooks' definitive reissues of his work, Vance develops several races of people and follows the life of a boy born into and growing up in a static, stratified society, in which he comes into conflict and is eventually driven into rebellion.

_The Dragon Masters_ features genetically engineered dragons and the galactic remnants of the human race fighting for survival on a barren planet.
The narrative lists how many dragons of each different type went where, but it never shows the combat up-front through the eyes of a character.
Over forty years after it was written, _The Dragon Masters_ stands as a well-developed and solidly written example of the classic SF style that mixed elements of science and fantasy.

Hey it's one of those Saturday, late-night, kung-fu, badly dubbed action flicks that we all know and love.
This time the gimmick is Sting of the Dragon Masters stars Angela Mao, who was called the female Bruce Lee (much like Michelle Yeoh today is called the female Jackie Chan).
When you're watching one of these flicks, you don't really care about the plot (much like watching a Godzilla flick); you just want to see some ass-kicking, death, and destruction.
