For the Dragon Riders series start with "Dragon's Dawn", it was about the tenth one written, but it is the first one chronologically. You will want to start with "On Basilisk Station" for Honor Harrington, it is the first book of the series.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('367','Brad'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('367','Brad','Yeah I will have a lot of I told you so moments to.

The fact that when this is index by Google we will have both now said centaurs in a post about genetics can't be anything but good for the pagerank :) I think we perfectly well have the right to play with genetics this way, the question though is should we do it just because we have the right to and how far do you take it. Mixing the genetics in a lab is one thing to see what we can do that might improve our species on a genetic level. We will one day want to move off this earth and frankly we will need to be adaptable as a species to do it. Lets take this example back a little bit to the real world though. Not so long ago a girl got her ass kicked for basically running her mouth about her classmates on mySpace. She had the right to do it, but considering the consequences, she might have been better to say one thing, leave out names or just keep it to herself. The right to do things simply doesn't mean there aren't consequences to go along with exercising them. Just to give you a few book suggestions that deal with the ideal of genetics and adaptability Try reading Anne McAffrey's Dragon Riders of Pern series and David Weber's Honor Harrington series. Both directly confront that issue.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('365','Brad'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('365','Brad','Oh the silliness of it bothers me not.

Still, I can't help but think of the possibility of centaurs. If that happened, I can see our food resources being strained even further. I mean, two stomachs to feed? Sorry, that may be a bit silly of me regarding a serious subject. Do we have the right to mess with these things? Even if you don't believe in God or a Creator, the world we live in has laws of its own that we're supposed to live with but constantly thawrt.
