About this product

Product Information

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education comes the fourth volume of the Temeraire series, as the Napoleonic Wars bring Will Laurence and Temeraire to Africa in search of aid. "Temeraire is a dragon for the ages."--Terry Brooks Tragedy has struck His Majesty's Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defends England's shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragons' ranks--forcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfected--and stand as the only means of an airborne defense against France's ever bolder sorties. Bonaparte's dragons are already harrowing Britain's ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure for the mysterious and deadly contagion. On this mission there is no time to waste, and no telling what Don't miss any of Naomi Novik's magical Temeraire series HIS MAJESTY'S DRAGON * THRONE OF JADE * BLACK POWDER WAR * EMPIRE OF IVORY * VICTORY OF EAGLES * TONGUES OF SERPENTS * CRUCIBLE OF GOLD * BLOOD OF TYRANTS * LEAGUE OF DRAGONS

Reviews
Praise for His Majesty's Dragon and the Temeraire series "These are beautifully written novels--not only fresh, original, and fast paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart. [The Temeraire series] is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love--fantasy and historical epic." --Peter Jackson "A terrifically entertaining fantasy novel . . . Is it hard to imagine a cross between Susanna Clarke, of Norrell and Strange fame, and the late Patrick O'Brian? Not if you've read this wonderful, arresting novel." --Stephen King "A splendid series . . . Not only is it a new way to utilize dragons, it's a very clever one and fits neatly into the historical niche this author has used." --Anne McCaffrey "Just when you think you've seen every variation possible on the dragon story, along comes Naomi Novik. Her wonderful Temeraire is a dragon for the ages." --Terry Brooks "Enthralling reading--it's like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon's Christopher Paolini." -- Time "A completely authentic tale, brimming with all the detail and richness one looks for . . . as well as the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy." --Entertainment Weekly (Editor's Choice, Grade: A) "Novik has accomplished something singular with her Temeraire series. . . . At its heart, it's a story about friendship that transcends not only time and class, but species." --NPR "[Naomi Novik] is soaring on the wings of a dragon." -- The New York Times "A thrilling fantasy . . . All hail Naomi Novik." -- The Washington Post Book World "An amazing performance . . . [I] was immediately hooked by the writing, the research and the sheer courage of the whole enterprise." -- Chicago Tribune "Novik's influences run the gamut from Jane Austen to Patrick O'Brian, with a side trip through Anne McCaffrey. Her books are completely involving and probably addictive, their central conceit explored in clever detail with a great deal of wit and historical insight." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Something new and quite wonderful . . . The Temeraire trilogy could well be this year's Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell." -- BookPage "A superbly written, character-driven series . . . What keeps one turning the pages is the urge to find out what happens next to Captain Laurence and Temeraire, characters who win one's heart from the beginning. Bravo!" -- Booklist (starred review)

  • Temeraire series..by Noami Novik..

    Normally this isn't my style of books. (Just to be honest) I like historical romance novels. But i came across Noami Novik and was captitaved with Temeraire. I have read all except the last two series. To me the adventures and the friendship shared between man and his best pal dragon are awesome. It makes one want to dream again. Thank you Noami Novik for bringing this samll happiness in my life.
