A variety of parties are interested in the weapons potential of gnome Hector's invention, a mechanical giant that he intends as a communications device. When Hector lands in trouble, he's rescued by Kyani, a recently orphaned brass dragon. Adventure and a touch of mystery animate this fast-moving, if message-driven, fantasy that affirms the power of friendship and peace.
