  • "With the Chinese threat neatly dissolved, Temeraire is free to return to Britain. But before they board the ship, Laurence receives orders that he and Temeraire are not to sail with the British forces. Instead they must take the shorter route to rendevous by the English Channel, and stop in Istanbul to collect three dragon eggs which the government have purchased at great expense from the Turkish. But the overland flight is fraught with danger. They will have to scale mountains and cross deserts, evade Napoleon's aggressive infantry and hide from unpredictable feral dragons. And even before they leave, they discover that Lien has left China before them, intent upon revenge."
  • ""El capitán Will Laurence selló su destino al capturar de una fragata francesa el huevo de dragón imperial del que nacería Temerario. Juntos demostraron su valor combatiendo contra las fuerzas invasoras de Napoleon Bonaparte. Ahora China ha descubierto que el dragón está en manos británicas y ha enviado a unos emisarios para recuperar al fantástico animal. Cuando Laurence se niegue a entregarlo, su desafio sólo tendra dos salidas: la horca o acompañar a Temerario hasta el Lejano Oriente. Comienza entonces un largo viaje sembrado de trampas, peligros e intrigas que sólo reforzarán la magnífica amistad que hay entre Will y Temerario."--P. [4] of cover."
