Acclaimed author Irene Radford returns to her beloved Dragon Nibmus universe with book one of The Stargods. Here is the tale of the first Terrans, gifted with both psi powers and technology, who discovered a world where dragons are real...and are worshiped as gods.

But recruiting the natives wasn't going to be easy. Not when a priest called Hanassa rules in the name of the dragon Simurgh, a terrifying, legendary creature that demanded human sacrifice. And not when the brothers instantly became the target of Hanassa's wrath.
Still, they didn't believe the legends about dragons and magic, and they were certain technology would see them trhough--at least until they conffronted their first dragon and felt their own uniquie powers expanding beyond their control…
