The Dragon Masters by Jack Vance:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
A spectacular Hugo award-winning book from master literary stylist Jack Vance. What a story - set in a universe where just a few humans scrabble out a life on a tiny little world, subject to invasion by a strange alien race. The dragons are captured aliens, bred as mounts in battle.
