Dragon's Island

It's year of the Dragon! And look what I found in my garage. I found this review online and thought I would share it. Have you ever read this book. Honestly, I don't know where it came from, but perhaps it might be classic Science Fiction.

Dragon's Island is a science fiction novel by Jack Williamson, one of the pioneers and masters of the genre. It is the first novel to use the term "genetic engineering" and to explore its implications and dangers.

The novel tells the story of Dane Belfast, a young scientist who is looking for his missing mentor, Dr. Cadman. He discovers that Cadman has been working for a secret organization that creates genetically modified humans and animals on an isolated island. Dane is captured and taken to the island, where he learns that he is one of the "not-men", a superior race of beings that Cadman has created. He also meets Nan Sanderson, a beautiful and intelligent not-woman who becomes his lover and ally.

The novel is a thrilling adventure that combines elements of mystery, romance, and action. Williamson creates a vivid and imaginative world, populated by exotic creatures and characters. He also raises ethical and philosophical questions about the nature and purpose of life, the role of science and technology, and the conflict between individual and collective interests.

Dragon's Island is a classic and influential work of science fiction that deserves to be read and appreciated by modern readers. It is a testament to Williamson's vision and creativity, and a reflection of his passion and curiosity for the unknown.
