His Majesty's Dragon

During the Napoleonic Wars, the HMS Reliant captured a French ship. Captain Laurence was stunned to find a dragon egg on the ship. Dragons have been used to aid aerial combat in the war, and are very important. Captain Laurence has limited dragon knowledge being a Naval Captain and is not quite sure what to do. He will just have to get the egg to the Aerial Forces before it hatches. Unfortunately or fortunately, the dragon has other ideas.

I really enjoyed this one. I have read so many back list books this year and wondered why I waited so long to read them. This is one of those gems. I love Will and Temeraire. I love all the dragons, and the crews. It's definitely a series I will continue.
