Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the
Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain's
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
future- and 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 France's own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British
soil in Bonaparte's boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire
must soar into their own baptism of fire.
