I Also Recommend:
Classic Weis and Hickman
I really need to read the first book! i thought this was an utterly fantastic book with just the write mixture of action, treachery, suspense, and dragons. this is the first weis and hickman book i've read in years but it reminded me why i got so many of the dragonlance books. i hope the sequal is coming out soon. The characters were well developed but i suppose it would help to read the first book first. All in all the book was massively entertaining for me and i know a good book when i see one or read one depending on your point of view.

I really liked it!
I like the way in which these books are written. I feel as though I am there watching the book play out. It caught my interest, picking up from the first book, and I just could not put it down. I highly recommend this series to anyone to read..a great escape.

Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman provide another superb Bones epic fantasy
The power of the old gods led by Torval is waning and new gods led by Aelon and worshipped by the Sinarians and the Gods of Raj are challenging them for power. To regain their supremacy, the old gods must have the Five Bones of the primal Vektia Dragons, hidden and scattered across the world by the dragon goddess Vindrash during creation. One is owned by the Sinarions; one in the land of the ogres; and three are unknown. Whoever has the bones possesses the power of creation.
On the mortal plane, Skylan Ivorson and his sea raiding crew inclding the Bone Goddess Treia, and her sister Aylean are betrayed by Raegar, a Vindraisi turned warrior priest of Aelon who leads the enemy Sinarians to them. The crew is captures and sold into slavery while Treia who is Raegar's lover will do anything for him. They become the slaves of Lord Acronis and are expected to battle in Para Dix games in an arena especially built for the warrior battles. Skylan discovers how deep Raegar's treachery goes and luckily he finds where the dragon bone is interred foils his plan. Unfortunately Skylane may not be able to do anything to stop him permanently even with his knowledge because he needs the aid of the vanished dragon Kahg and the gods.
This book picks up where Bones of the Dragon ended so it behooves the audience to read the previous tale first, but also be aware that the climax of this thriller is a cliffhanger too that will require the next entry to resolve how the hero gets out of his predicament; if he does. Skylan is a sort of Indiana Jones character landing in one dangerous escapade after another with no chance to breath in between his adventures. He relies on his instincts and his crew to achieve their mission and stay alive. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman provide another superb Bones epic fantasy.

i thought i read the best of Weis and Hickman in the Chronicle and legends series. But they have done it again, created a new exciting story worthy of their reputation. The book grabs you from the 1st page and does not let you go.. The characters in this book are well define and interesting. the world comes alive. you will get caught up in this tale and in the end are left wanting more. book 2 secret of the dragon i give 5 stars also. I just started their 3rd book so i can not say anymore. READ it!!

More please....
The only drawback to reading this series is having to wait so long for the next book to come out.

VERY DISAPPOINTED
I'm very disappointed. The story line dragged, and it took ALL of my patience to read it to the end, only for it to have a ridiculous "cliff hanger"...if there is another installment, I won't waste my time and money.
