Coming Soon from Naomi Novik:

The Tongues of Serpents (September 2010)

Convicted of treason despite their heroic defence against Napoleon’s invasion of Britain, Temeraire and Laurence – stripped of rank and standing – have been transported to the prison colony at New South Wales. With them travel three dragon eggs intended to help establish a covert in the colony, and destined to be handed over to second-rate, undesirable officers willing to accept so remote an assignment – including one former acquaintance, Captain Rankin, whose cruelty once cost a dragon its life.

But instead of leaving behind the political entanglements of the war, Laurence and Temeraire sail into a hornet’s nest of fresh corruption. The young Australian colony has been thrown into turmoil after the overthrow of the military governor, one William Bligh – formerly Captain Bligh, late of HMS Bounty.
   
Eager to escape this political quagmire, Laurence and Temeraire take on a mission to pioneer a route 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 before the dragonet hatches – a race that leads to a shocking discovery and a dangerous new obstacle in the global war between Britain and France.

List of Naomi’s Books

   

Temeraire by Naomi Novik is one of those stay-up-all-night novels. It is set during the Napoleonic wars, with one vital difference… dragons. These huge, powerful creatures make up an air-force manned by aviators, as well as a human with which they have bonded. Temeraire is beautifully written and cleverly imagined – it manages to be both funny and moving. I tore through the rest of the series in a month after starting this book, and cannot recommend it enough!
