Review

“Invigorating . . . filled with spectacle . . . Naomi Novik has not sounded a wrong note yet in this sweeping, lustrous saga. . . . [This is] a glorious series whose future status as a genre classic is now assured.”—SF Reviews

“Engrossing . . . sheer page-turning excitement.”—Booklist

“Dragonslayer meets Master and Commander.”—Entertainment Weekly

Product Description

For Britain, conditions are grim: Napoleon’s resurgent forces have breached the Channel and successfully invaded English soil. Napoleon’s prime objective is the occupation of London. Unfortunately, the dragon Temeraire has been removed from military service–and his captain, Will Laurence, has been condemned to death for treason. Separated by their own government and threatened at every turn by Napoleon’s forces, Laurence and Temeraire must struggle to find each other amid the turmoil of war. If only they can be reunited, master and dragon might rally Britain’s scattered resistance forces and take the fight to the enemy as never before–for king and country, and for their own liberty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great New Imaginings of History, Aug 2 2009

By	Susan Ricketts "Sues Views" (Guelph ON Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I dont know if youve had the pleasure of reading any of the Novels of Temeraire. They come from this delightful New Yorker who was raised on Polish fairy tales, Baba Yaga, and Tolkien. After studying English Literature at University she did graduate work in Computer Science at Columbia University before leaving to participate in the design and development of the computer game Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide.

She has an interest in the Napoleonic era and particularly the wars between Britain and France. Writing in great detail about life, sea battles, and more in the early 1800s makes a good read but shes gone one better.

Temeraire is a dragon. The authour has invented a whole addition to the world where dragons of all sizes and shapes are used to fly people around the world, deliver messages, fight in battle with humans and help save the day in many instances. What an enchanting difference it makes.

This is the fifth book in the series which looks at the old world.

The first book, His Majestys Dragon, begins in England and tells how Temeraire, the noble dragon, meets his Captain Will Lawrence. It turns out that dragons love to be read to and are very capable of learning many, many things and writing too.

The next book, tells of Temeraires and Wills trip to China where they find that Tameraire is really a celestial dragon and has a long and illustrious pedigree. Through many adventures they find new inventions to bring home to England to help fight the wars.

The third book returns to the Napoleonic wars and some sea battles which are amazing. You can learn about black powder (gun powder) and its many uses which the heroes brought with them on their return from China. Then a terrible sickness comes which begins killing off the dragons. Everyone looks for clues to a cure before all the dragons are gone.

The fourth book takes Will and his dragon through Africa to find a cure to what is killing off the dragons. They return successful but stop to give the cure to the French dragons so that they wont all die.

Victory of Eagles continues the tale with Captain Lawrence under sentence to be hanged for treason for helping the enemy and Temeraire demobbed from the military and banished to a rural keep in Wales. Now they must find each other, survive their fates and somehow help their country weather Napoleons vow to capture and subjugate London.

Can they win? Its a great read to find out how the story ends. I do suspect though that there will be another book in the series which might, just might involve America.
