Far, far in the future, many billions of years after humankind and all other forms of life have gone, when the Universe itself is beginning to fall towards its death, only the Stardragons are left to move across the infinite tracts of space. With breath of nuclear fire and broad wings to harvest the energies of starlight, these creatures are on an epic journey. They know the Universe is dying. They know, too, that once on one particular planet, there lived another dragon race who, before their own extinction, constructed a great edifice holding the key to life. It is to this structure, called Dragonhenge, that the Stardragons are now slowly returning...

Millions of years before the emergence of humankind, the great dragon civilization dominated this world. It left few traces behind save legends and one mighty structure: Dragonhenge. The dragons were profound storytellers, and collected here are tales from their oral mythology. "Hugo Award winners pool their talents in Dragonhenge, an illustrated collection of eight tales and a "Proem" that celebrate the ancient dragon civilization."—

Bob Eggleton has won the Hugo Award for Best Artist several times, as well as the Chesley Award—and this collection of over 100 illustrations proves exactly why he is considered one of today's most original fantasy and science fiction illustrators. All the paintings are imagined as part of a time capsule sent to aliens, and these fanciful, otherworldly visions include the covers for Daniel Hood's The Scales of Justice and Larry Niven's Rainbow Mars. Dynamic commentary by best-selling author Nigel Suckling.
