Descrizione
Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors ride mighty fighting dragons, bred for size or speed. When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes the precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Captain 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.

Very simple : this is crying out for a tv/film adaptation. Hornblower meets Fourth Wing head on. It is a screwy premise but you will get your head around it. There are difficulties with the various breeds but reading the Rebecca Yarros novels helps. In fact reading any novel with dragons helps.

What a nice book. I really liked the relationship and it's building up between Laurence and Temeraire. Temeraire as a dragon has enough character growth from a baby to an young dragon.

Love the audiobook! I can't believe it took me this long to get into these books. I can't wait to start the next!
