Dragons, dwarves, and the free people of earth, alien beings, mud-dragons, magi, and Jötunn battle to secure the future of the planet. Two boys and a girl join forces with the dragons of the Ice Palace and their dwarven friends to rescue the dragonettes and close the portal through which the Diatrans come. A fast moving adventure, but one with the central theme of a government which relies on the proceeds of a product which poisons and ultimately kills its dragon dope. A satirical comment on a similar evil which exists in present day society, this novel pours ridicule and scorn on the perpetrators. Read it purely as fantasy, or read it as fantasy and satire, it does not matter. Here the two blend seamlessly together.
