Publisher's summary
Naomi Novik’s stunning series of novels follow the adventures of Cpt Laurence and his dragon Temeraire as they travel from the shores of Britain to China and Africa.
Laurence and Temeraire made a daring journey across vast and inhospitable continents to bring home a rare Turkish dragon from the treacherous Ottoman Empire.
Kazilik dragons are firebreathers, and Britain is in greater need of protection than ever, for while Laurence and Temeraire were away, an epidemic struck British shores and is killing off her greatest defence - her dragon air force is slowly dying.
The dreadful truth must be kept from Napoleon at all costs. Allied with the white Chinese dragon, Lien, he would not hesitate to take advantage of Britain's weakness and launch a devastating invasion.
Hope lies with the only remaining healthy dragon - Temeraire cannot stay at home but must once again venture into the unknown to help his friends and seek out a cure in darkest Africa.
Critic reviews
"These are beautifully written novels, not only fresh, original and fast-paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart." (Peter Jackson)
"Novik won me over with her first novel. the combination of history, sympathetic characters, and an engaging style makes this series great, intelligent fun." (The Times)
"Plenty of intrigue, swordplay, exotic locations, plausible invention. In short a treat." (The Telegraph)

Favorite of the series so far
Excellent, thrilling story. Being African I really enjoyed this AU view of an Africa that shakes off the evils of slavery and colonization. It made me very very happy, even as fiction. There is an issue with the recording come chapter 12, a portion of the story, a really critical part too, is missing. I hope someone at Audible sees this and the error is rectified
