On the heels of a harrowing diplomatic mission to Peking, Captain Will Laurence and his dragon Temeraire would like nothing better than to get back to England. But alas, it will not be quick or easy. Their new assignment takes them on a difficult journey by land from China to Istanbul to retrieve three valuable dragon eggs and bring them home. As they travel via the Old Silk Road they will need a guide. This comes in the form of a new character named Tharkay, a toughened Nepalese/EnglishmanAfter reading the series, I've decided Captain Riley is incompetent, bigoted, and immature, and I question Laurence's people-reading skills in promoting him to captain. (view spoiler)[ Fire aboard ship? Two fires, in two books, both of them very serious? Sailors falling 15° off course? A malcontent crew? And Laurence knew how he felt about slaves! (hide spoiler)]I'm learning more about the Napoleonic War from this series, despite the fictional dragons. It's a pretty decent alternate history,
Plotwise, I didn't like this one as much as the first 2 books in the series. It was a bit weak and it dragged at times. But it had charm!

A fascinating journey with a rousing finish. (Also amusing how easily one takes England's side; down with the tyrant Napoleon!)
This series is a goddamn delight. It's very rare for me to read more than one book in a series, simply because I have lots of author friends and I want to experience their works. Usually I read book one and move on to the next, simply because of time limitations (I will grow old and someday die with a huge to-be-read pile sitting on the nightstand next to my death bed, because people are rude and keep writing good books). Novik's Temeraire series, however, has taken over my iPhone for running,
