Though All the Mountains Lie Between

by Jeffrey A. Carver

Overview

When star pilot Jael LeBrae rebels against an abusive captain and flies the "mountain route" through the Flux, she dismisses a legend claiming that dragons lurk waiting for unwary riggers. But appear they do, challenging Jael to a fight to the death. This story appeared originally in the anthology Dragons of Darkness, edited by Orson Scott Card. Also appears in the ebook collection Going Alien. 9000 words, plus excerpt from Dragon Space.

"Though All the Mountains Lie Between" formed the seed of two novels, Dragons in the Stars and Dragon Rigger, both published in print by Tor Books. They are available as ebooks in the omnibus Dragon Space (in the author's edition), or individually (in E-Reads editions).
