Dragons Can Only Rust

Dragons Can Only Rust is a novel by Chris Cymri published by TSR in 1995.

Plot summary

Dragons Can Only Rust is about a dragon named Gonard who was created in a laboratory, with such well-developed artificial intelligence that it is self-aware, and can think and speak.[1]

Reception

Jonathan Palmer reviewed Dragons Can Only Rust for Arcane magazine, rating it a 3 out of 10 overall.[1] Palmer comments that "I waded through this literary quagmire in search of Gonard's soul and couldn't find it. Couldn't find anybody's soul. I rather thought Gonard had found as much soul as he was ever going to find simply by looking for it. This is what Itsa thinks, too, and this intuitive character expresses a valid point well, on several occasions. Maybe this reflects the view of the author. If so, then hates off, Zen on; but if it's so simple, why write about it?"[1]

Reviews
  • Review by Carolyn Cushman (1996) in Locus, #420 January 1996[2]
gollark: Based on inference from my current notes library, I'm looking at about 10MB of data a year.
gollark: The actual diffing is easy enough.
gollark: The deltas thing would mean I would have to, on any lookup of an old revision, pull every single old diff out of storage, un-diff them, and send that back.
gollark: Well, compressing all old revisions would be pretty trivial.
gollark: (yes I am sure I have offended someone by saying I didn't care about CPU time)
