In the first novel of the New York Times bestselling Temeraire series, a rare bond is formed between a young man and a dragon, and together they must battle in the Napoleonic Wars.
âA terrifically entertaining fantasy novel.ââStephen King
Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britainâs defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.
When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain futureâand an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarified world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as Franceâs own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparteâs boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
âJust when you think youâve seen every variation possible on the dragon story, along comes Naomi Novik. . . . Her wonderful Temeraire is a dragon for the ages.ââTerry Brooks
