Publisher's Summary
“The best mingling of history with historical magic that I have ever seen.” (Gene Wolfe)
In a snowbound inn high in the Alps, four people meet who will alter fate.
A noble Byzantine mercenary....
A female Florentine physician....
An ageless Welsh wizard....
And Sforza, the uncanny duke.
Together they will wage an intrigue-filled campaign against the might of Byzantium to secure the English throne for Richard, Duke of Gloucester - and make him Richard III. Available for the first time in nearly two decades, with a new introduction by New York Times best-selling author Scott Lynch, The Dragon Waiting is a masterpiece of blood and magic.
“Had [John M. Ford] taken The Dragon Waiting and written a sequence of five books based in that world, with that power, he would’ve been George R.R. Martin.” (Neil Gaiman)

great alternative history with vampires
I happily stumbled across this book which is a reimagining of a pantheism European history with many religions (not a dominant Christianity). It is a masterful work with a difficult publishing history. There doesn't seem to be a wasted word.
I wanted to listen to the flow of the audiobook,which was well done. I
I like history and have had to look up and look into a number of things, which is fine. The Dragon Waiting is an amazing recreation of history.
Somewhere I read a comment from Neil Gaiman who said that if Ford had continued this as a series it could have rivalled George Martin's Game of Thrones . I would have loved to read further in this world.
