fuzzi: The "dragons" are genetically engineered from native fauna, though it is not explained in this particular volume. Many think this is a fantasy, but it is SciFi.

wyvernfriend, tardis, Morphidae, ejmam, hoddybook,Quaisior
Explications
Morphidae: They are all police procedurals/mysteries set around 2060 New York. Some of the first novels also have romance, It also has off-planet flight, floating/flying cars, laser weapons instead of projectile weapons, virtual rooms, ubiquitous service droids as bartenders/maids/sex partners, probes that can tell you the exact time of death, etc. Of course it's science fiction.
ejmam: How is a book with hover cars, space installations,etc. set in the future not science fiction? Is Caves of Steel not SF because it's a mystery?

Explications
andyl : This is fantasy for me
Aquila : Yeah, this is pretty classic fantasy, unless you want to put all systematic magic into scifi.
anglemark : Books don't really get to be more fantasy than this.
ejmam : Definitely fantasy
amanda4242 : This is a fantasy novel that is on several existing lists of fantasy novels.
Maddz : Fantasy not SF
waltzmn: Yes, it's fantasy, but if it's on the "Science Fiction" list, I put it on MY favorites list because it's one of the three or four best fantasy series of all time. We need a way to vote it to a fantasy list that doesn't imply it's a bad book!
