About the author
Jeff Crook
38 books21 followersJeff Crook and his lovely wife, Lady Jessica, live in the Quinn family home among Jeff's ancestors -- not in the Native American or even the John-Boy Walton sense, but in the Stephen King sense. As their niece Nickie said, "Those stairs are spooky!" There, Jeff grows tomatoes and grass (more grass than tomatoes), sometimes he works, and he writes the rest of the time, neglecting most everything else, except the cat that must be fed from time to time.
Jeff's first Dragonlance novel, The Rose and the Skull, hit the shelves in March 1999. He also worked on a second Dragonlance novel for the Crossroads series. One of his stories was also included in the 2000 Dragonlance anthology, Rebels and Tyrants. His story, "The Fractal," appeared in Relics and Omens, poetry in "The Final Word," and five AD&D adventures in Dungeon Magazine. He is currently the editor of Campaigns, the newsletter for the Southern Realms region of the RPGA.
When not writing or working or gardening or feeding the kitty, Jeff occasionally likes to mingle with humanity. He enjoys his food a bit too much, and wine is an expensive hobby he could probably do without, except life wouldn't be worth living. And when everything is quiet and the house is dark, the cat is asleep and the computer is turned off, Jeff lies in bed listening to things go bump in the night. He tries to turn off his brain so he can go to sleep, but it doesn't always work.

What a good little tale! I'm finding the more books I read about the Dwarves of Krynn, the more I like them. I think the biggest issue I have with it is the huge cliffhanger ending. That's not to say it's a bad ending, I just want more. Definitely scratched my Dragonlance itch.

Another well written entry by Jeff Crook.
Great characters, cool twists, and a skilfully weaved narrative made this an enjoyable read.
That being said, I enjoyed The Last Thane more.

More dwarves! I just finished reading Dark Thane by Jeff Crook. So this one takes place 40 years after the Chaos War (and after The Last Thane) and follows King Tarn Bellowgranite as he tries to keep the peace in the new dwarven city of Norbardin. I really liked this one. I thought Crook’s writing style was great and I especially enjoyed the upending of the dwarven clans in terms of the villains. I’m still so excited to read more about dwarves so I started the Dwarf Home trilogy this morning.

This book takes place in the realm of Dragonlance. It is about dwarves and the politics of their society. The beginning was very slow but does pick up. I did enjoy the differences and the turmoil between the dwarves clans. I have read better dragonlance books and I have read worse dragonlance books. This book lies in the middle of the pack.
