  Bitterwood, by James Maxey. In a distant future where forgotten technology litters the landscape and superstition and religious zeal vie for supremacy, a ruling class of dragons prepares to launch a genocidal war against humankind. Into this post-apocalyptic landscape, author James Maxey mixes a cast of complex characters—both dragon and human—whose Miltonic strengths and weaknesses fuel an action-packed storyline that blends elements of fantasy and science fiction with themes of faith, heroism, and the dangers of fanaticism to produce more than one surprise. Featuring the most well-realized, articulate, and original dragons since LeGuin’s Earthsea series, Maxey’s unique mix of dragons, fantasy, and technology will appeal to readers of George R.R. Martin and Gene Wolfe. Fantasy and SF aficionados alike will enjoy this one. Reviewed by Constance O'Shea, CM Assistant/ILL
