   None. » 3 more No current Talk conversations about this book. Now this was a good story. Napolean has landed in England and the English are in shambles. Lots of politic'ing and Laurence and Temeraire are allowed to do what they need to. Fighting and dragons making their own tactics, quite interesting.

Laurence has been imprisoned as a traitor and Temeraire has been left at the breeding grounds. Lots happens here. (  ) 2wonderY | Dec 5, 2016 | Last weekend, at the Dorothy Dunnett Day meeting in London, I was chatting to Janet about Temeraire.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345512251, Mass Market Paperback)For Britain, conditions are grim: Napoleon’s resurgent forces have breached the Channel and successfully invaded English soil. Napoleon’s prime objective is the occupation of London. Unfortunately, the dragon Temeraire has been removed from military service–and his captain, Will Laurence, has been condemned to death for treason.
