As Napoleon attacks Britain, Captain Will Laurence languishes on a prison ship, accused of treason, while his dragon, Temeraire, is consigned to breeding grounds in Wales, until Laurence escapes and sets out on a quest to reunite with his partner, who heads up a dragon-resistance force. Reprint. 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. Separated by their own government and threatened at every turn by Napoleon's forces, Laurence and Temeraire must struggle to find each other amid the turmoil of war. If only they can be reunited, master and dragon might rally Britain's scattered resistance forces and take the fight to the enemy as never before-for king and country, and for their own liberty.
