Dragon War"Monkey: Just because two goals are good ones, doesnt mean that theyre automatically compatible. It would be convenient if they were, but often theyre not. And so you have to make a choice."
Dragon War is a fantasy novel American author Laurence Yep first published in 1992. It is the fourth and final book in his Dragon series. Yep attempted to put the beauty and gallantry of dragons he had gleaned from his research of them in Chinese mythology into Dragon War. By contrast, in the first three books of the series he "had tried to capture their quirkiness and strength".

"Monkey: Funny, the cavern seems smaller than last time."
"Shimmer: Most creatures would give their right claw to be a dragon."
"Shimmer: Youll make a fine dragon. You wont look like Monkey, with that mashed snout of his."
"Monkey: Well, if he meant to kill us he would have done it already."
