Narrative As Books The Doom Brigade (Dragonlance: Kang's Regiment #1)
War can get a fellow killed.The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope -- the ability to continue their doomed race. When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure. Little do both sides realize that they are part of the strange and terrible destiny descending upon Krynn during the Summer of Flame.
A destiny that includes the children of Chaos ... the fire dragons!
The Doom Brigade is the first installment in The Chaos War series, stories set during the war of the Dragons of Summer Flame, the "New York Times" best-selling novel co-authored by Margaret Weis.

Based on my fractured childhood memory, this was the very first fantasy book I ever read.Either this or Shannara.Anyway, it holds up decently even as an adult.a great read, as usual weis sense of humour is wonderful and she makes the reader love the characters she is writing about even when these happen to be draconians!! love the great adventure the mischievous dwarves and the kang regiment had in the depths of the mountain and the heroism of the draconians and their excitement at finding the eggs of the female draconians, the first we have ever heard of these!!
Not afraid to say enjoyed myself in public no less with this one. Novels set in (A)D&D land range from 9th grade power fantasy to low info voter. This one though hit the spot unf.Not unlike Thomas' "Firefox", Weis/Perrin's "Doom Brigade" finds success from brevity and not trying to make up a bunch of fake history to support the fiction. Side note: curious why the book cover claims two authors and goodreads lists only one #dragonlanceconspiracies.Characters are not overwrought, nor
Draconians trying to get away and just survive, since everyone on Krynn hates them, and continue their race. Racing against dwarves to find a vast treasure. The story gives a much better personality to the Dragonlance introduced villan.
Fun book. 25 years of nonlethal raiding between draconians and hill dwarves leads to hope for the continuation of the draconian race and a stop to chaos dragons at the same time. I just have to wonder where the kapak & aurak draconians are.
Another great addition to the dragonlance series. It is told completley from the perspective of the "bad guys" from the original trilogy. You find yourself loving them and cheering them on even knowing they tried to kill you favorite charecters in the first set of the series. A fantastic read by it's self, but you must read it just so you can read the second one in this set.
Breaking my stereotypical feeling about the Dragonlance books as largely epic in plot but whimsical, silly, and illogical in the unfolding, The Doom Brigade is a delightfully self-contained story that takes place on the edges of the Dragonlance plots and touches on the results of the epic for two small sub-sets of survivors. By doing so, I didnt find the silliness offensive or the characters to have the kind of Saturday morning cartoon quality I saw in the main storyline. In short, I was able to
