The books sound intriguing, and I'm a fan of slow reveals. Most of my current reading is on the non-fiction side but novel-wise I'm meant to be tackling the Master and Commander series, had I world enough and time...But I'd like to check these out sometime.
The fanfic (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2579524/1/The_Dusk_Descending) I'm working on takes the premise of Reign of Fire (hibernating dragons are unwittingly awakened and go on to practically wipe out the human race) and times the awakening to happen a hundred years earlier, where the characters of Newsies are forced to deal with the dragon invasion in New York, 1900. It's sparked a lot of period research on my part, some of which spilled over into a website. (Who says fandom isn't educational?) If you ever do read it, I'd love to know what you think.
