Book
His majesty's dragon / by Naomi Novik.
"Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain<U+2019>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<U+2013>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<U+2019>s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte<U+2019>s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire."--Back cover.
