I'll Start it off. I am almost through reading it for the 3rd or 4th time. My question is what is so bad about the Kreklen (sp). Did that ever get said and I just missed it? They seemed to want to exterminate them from the begining.

I think the Krekelen was just bait, something that a Guardship would have to see, have to notice, and follow up on, in order to attract one closer. What was never explained was where they got the Krekelen to begin with--they were alleged to be extinct. As far as what is so bad about them, nothing is bad about a race of telepathic hive-minding shapeshifters if they are on your side. If they are against you, it's something else again. The bad side of the Krekelen does sort of get glossed over and since there's only the one, it never amounts to more than a red flag to draw Gemina in.. I thought a bigger deal would be made of it than it turned out to be. Another potential Cook storyline that there is not time to follow up on. And I don't know why I didn't latch on to it until just now, but the Krekelen were recycled in the Garrett books. Guess there was too much time between reading Dragon and reading the relevant Garrett stuff. One of the latest Garrett books (the latest one, I think) deals with shapeshifters that are telepathic, smarter in groups and dumber when separated, and not altogether friendly. Very parasitic creatures, killing influential people and taking their stuff, etc. DG BTW to Eric: what is the list etiquette on book discussions and spoilers? This book has been out something like a decade or more, so are these really "spoilers"? - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 10:18 AM Subject: Re: (glencook-fans) Dragon Never Sleeps Spoilers?? > > > > > > > > > > > I'll Start it off.
