Book Description
================
A dazzling blend of military history, high-flying fantasy, and edge-of-your-sea-
t adventure, Naomi Novik's Temeraire novels, set in an alternate Napoleonic 
era in which intelligent dragons have been harnessed as weapons of war, 
are more than just perennial bestsellers - they are a worldwide phenomenon. 
Now, in Tongues of Serpents, Naomi Novik is back, along with the dragon 
Temeraire and his rider and friend, Capt. Will Laurence.

Convicted of treason despite their heroic defense against Napoleon's 
invasion of England, Temeraire and Laurence - stripped of rank and standing 
- have been transported to the prison colony at New South Wales in distant 
Australia, where, it is hoped, they cannot further corrupt the British 
Aerial Corps with their dangerous notions of liberty for dragons. Temeraire 
and Laurence carry with them three dragon eggs intended to help establish 
a covert in the colony and destined to be handed over to such second-rate, 
undesirable officers as have been willing to accept so remote an assignment 
- including one former acquaintance, Captain Rankin, whose cruelty once 
cost a dragon its life.

Nor is this the greatest difficulty that confronts the exiled dragon 
and rider: Instead of leaving behind all the political entanglements 
and corruptions of the war, Laurence and Temeraire have instead sailed 
into a hornet's nest of fresh complications. For the colony at New South 
Wales has been thrown into turmoil after the overthrow of the military 
governor, one William Bligh - better known as Captain Bligh, late of 
HMS Bounty. Bligh wastes no time in attempting to enlist Temeraire and 
Laurence to restore him to office, while the upstart masters of the 
colony are equally determined that the new arrivals should not upset 
a balance of power precariously tipped in their favor.

Eager to escape this political quagmire, Laurence and Temeraire take 
on a mission to find a way through the forbidding Blue Mountains and 
into the interior of Australia. But when one of the dragon eggs is stolen 
from Temeraire, the surveying expedition becomes a desperate race to 
recover it in time - a race that leads to a shocking discovery and a 
dangerous new obstacle in the global war between Britain and Napoleon.-
