With the acclaimed Temeraire novels, New York Times bestselling author Naomi Novik has created a fantasy series like no other, combining the high-flying appeal of Anne McCaffrey Pern saga and the swashbuckling derring-do of Patrick Orian historical seafaring adventures. Now, with League of Dragons, Novik brings the imaginative tour de force that has captivated millions to an unforgettable finish. Napoleon invasion of Russia has been roundly thwarted. But even as Capt. William Laurence and the dragon Temeraire pursue the retreating enemy through an unforgiving winter, Napoleon is raising a new force, and hel soon have enough men and dragons to resume the offensive. While the emperor regroups, the allies have an opportunity to strike first and defeat him once and for allf internal struggles and petty squabbles don tear them apart. Aware of his weakened position, Napoleon has promised the dragons of every countrynd the ferals, loyal only to themselvesast new rights and powers if they fight under his banner. It is an offer eagerly embraced from Asia to Africand even by England, whose dragons have long rankled at their disrespectful treatment. But Laurence and his faithful dragon soon discover that the wily Napoleon has one more gambit at the readyne that that may win him the war, and the world.Praise for Naomi Novik and her Novels of Temeraire ovik influences run the gamut from Jane Austen to Patrick Orian, with a side trip through Anne McCaffrey.
