Naomi Novik's stunning series of novels follow the global
adventures of Captain William Laurence and his fighting dragon
Temeraire as they are thrown together to fight for Britain during
the turbulent time of the Napoleonic Wars. Convicted of treason and
stripped of rank and standing, Temeraire and Lawrence are
transported to the prison colony at New South Wales. With them
travel three dragon eggs destined to be handed over to second-rate
officers willing to accept so remote an assignment - including one
former acquaintance, Captain Rankin, whose cruelty once cost a
dragon its life. They arrive at a young Australian colony in
turmoil after the overthrow of the military governor, William Bligh
- formerly Captain Bligh, late of HMS Bounty. Eager to escape the
political quagmire, Laurence and Temeraire accept a mission to
pioneer a route through the forbidding Blue Mountains and into the
interior of Australia. But when one of the dragon eggs is stolen,
the surveying expedition becomes a desperate race to recover it
before the dragonet hatches - a race that leads to a shocking
discovery and a dangerous new obstacle in the global war between
Britain and France.
