About this listen
The fifth adventure of Captain William Laurence and his extraordinary fighting dragon, Temeraire, as they travel from the shores of Britain to China and Africa.
Laurence and Temeraire have betrayed the British. They have foiled their attempts to inflict death upon the French dragons by sharing the cure they found in Africa with their enemy.
But following their conscience has a price. Laurence feels he must return to face the consequences, and as soon as they land they are taken into custody. Laurence is condemned to the gallows and Temeraire faces a life of captivity in the breeding grounds. None of their friends or allies can come to their aid, for every hand is needed elsewhere.
Britain is completely unprepared for Bonaparte invasion and the advanced tactics of his own celestial dragon – Temeraire's mortal enemy – Lien.

"Plenty of intrigue, swordplay, exotic locations, plausible invention. In short a treat." (Telegraph)
"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 military history, sympathetic characters, and engaging style makes this series great, intelligent fun." (The Times)

Good conflict
I was straight onto this one after the cliffhanger of book 4. Britain is completely unprepared for Bonaparte invasion and the advanced tactics of his own celestial dragon – Temeraire's mortal enemy – Lien. I loved the idea of a fictitious invasion of Britain by Napoleon and the fact Wellington was in this one! The conflict is greater - Temeraire is becoming a radical and it is fun to see. His bound with Laurence grows even greater.

Very well mixed
We have seen times when Temeraire goes off to do his own thing like book 2, and leave Laurence alone. Now there is much more focus on this early in the book and it is rather refreshing to see what Tem can do on his own!
