Temeraire is BACK!
In the 6th installment of the series we find our favorite dragon and his rider/friend Captain Will Laurence sent off to Oz (Australia) for their “treason” of saving the French dragons from the plague.
Upon arrival they become embroiled in the politics of the land, namely a certain Capt. Bligh wants to be in charge (think Mutiny on the Bounty) yet the current leaders (who tossed him out) want nothing to do with him. When a dragons egg is stolen this prompts Laurence and Temeraire to head towards the unsettled areas in a dangerous attempt to salvage the egg.
Overall this book is in the same league as the prior installments. it’s a good read with quality characters and a decent plot. However it seems to be a bit darker in some ways, I also found it a bit shocking that there wasn’t more contact with the natives and/or other dragons.
For those of you have read the series and liked it, this is a good book for you. If you haven’t read the series yet, get to it!
