Overview

En la segunda novela de la serie best seller del New York Times Temerario, las guerras napoleónicas llevan al Capitán Will Laurence y a su dragón hasta China en una peligrosa misión… Cuando Gran Bretaña intercepta un barco francés que transporta una preciada carga (un huevo de dragón sin eclosionar), Will Laurence, Capitán del Buque de Su Majestad, se convierte inesperadamente en el señor y comandante de un noble dragón al que bautiza con el nombre de Temerario. Incorporados a las Fuerzas Aéreas Británicas, Capitán y dragón pronto demuestran su coraje en los combates contra las fuerzas invasoras capitaneadas por Napoleón Bonaparte. Ahora, China ha descubierto que su extraordinario obsequio, que iba dirigido a Napoleón, ha caído en manos de los británicos, y una furiosa comitiva promete recuperar a la excepcional criatura. El Capitán Laurence, aunque reticente, no tiene otra opción que llevar a Temerario de vuelta a China. Un largo viaje lleno de riesgos, intriga y peligros inimaginables. Pero cuando la pareja llega a la corte del emperador, todavía les esperan descubrimientos más impactantes y secretos más oscuros.

In the second novel of the New York Times bestselling Temeraire series, the Napoleonic Wars take Captain Will Laurence and his dragon to China on a perilous mission… When Britain intercepted a French ship and its precious cargo—an unhatched dragon's egg—Captain Will Laurence of HMS Reliant unexpectedly became master and commander of the noble dragon he named Temeraire. As new recruits in Britain’s Aerial Corps, man and dragon soon proved their mettle in daring combat against Napoleon Bonaparte’s invading forces. Now China has discovered that its rare gift, intended for Napoleon, has fallen into British hands—and an angry Chinese delegation vows to reclaim the remarkable beast. A reluctant Laurence has no choice but to take Temeraire back to China—a long voyage fraught with peril, intrigue, and the untold terrors of the deep. Yet once the pair reaches the court of the Chinese emperor, even more shocking discoveries and darker dangers await.
