SUMMARY: Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britainβs 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 futureβand 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 Franceβs own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparteβs boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.
