À propos de cet audio

 Aerial combat brings a thrilling new dimension to the Napoleonic Wars as valiant warriors rise to Britain’s defense by taking to the skies . . . not aboard aircraft but atop the mighty backs of fighting dragons.

When HMS Reliant captures a French frigate and seizes its precious cargo, an unhatched dragon egg, fate sweeps Capt. Will Laurence from his seafaring life into an uncertain future–and an unexpected kinship with a most extraordinary creature. Thrust into the rarefied world of the Aerial Corps as master of the dragon Temeraire, he will face a crash course in the daring tactics of airborne battle. For as France’s own dragon-borne forces rally to breach British soil in Bonaparte’s boldest gambit, Laurence and Temeraire must soar into their own baptism of fire.©2006 Naomi Novik; (P)2007 Books on Tape Dragons et créatures mythiques Fantastique Fantastique épique Fiction Histoire alternative Historique Science-fiction Épique Dragons Mythologie

Ce que les critiques en disent

Praise for His Majesty’s Dragon and the Temeraire series

“These are beautifully written novels—not only fresh, original, and fast paced, but full of wonderful characters with real heart. [The Temeraire series] is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love—fantasy and historical epic.”—Peter Jackson

“A terrifically entertaining fantasy novel . . . Is it hard to imagine a cross between Susanna Clarke, of Norrell and Strange fame, and the late Patrick O’Brian? Not if you’ve read this wonderful, arresting novel.”—Stephen King

“A splendid series . . . Not only is it a new way to utilize dragons, it’s a very clever one and fits neatly into the historical niche this author has used.”—Anne McCaffrey

“Just when you think you’ve seen every variation possible on the dragon story, along comes Naomi Novik. Her wonderful Temeraire is a dragon for the ages.”—Terry Brooks

“Enthralling reading—it’s like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon’s Christopher Paolini.”—Time

“A completely authentic tale, brimming with all the detail and richness one looks for . . . as well as the impossible wonder of gilded fantasy.”—Entertainment Weekly (Editor’s Choice, Grade: A)

“Novik has accomplished something singular with her Temeraire series. . . . At its heart, it’s a story about friendship that transcends not only time and class, but species.”—NPR

“[Naomi Novik] is soaring on the wings of a dragon.”—The New York Times

“A thrilling fantasy . . . All hail Naomi Novik.”—The Washington Post Book World

“An amazing performance . . . [I] was immediately hooked by the writing, the research and the sheer courage of the whole enterprise.”—Chicago Tribune

“Novik’s influences run the gamut from Jane Austen to Patrick O’Brian, with a side trip through Anne McCaffrey. Her books are completely involving and probably addictive, their central conceit explored in clever detail with a great deal of wit and historical insight.”—San Francisco Chronicle

“Something new and quite wonderful . . . The Temeraire trilogy could well be this year’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.”—BookPage

“A superbly written, character-driven series . . . What keeps one turning the pages is the urge to find out what happens next to Captain Laurence and Temeraire, characters who win one’s heart from the beginning. Bravo!”—Booklist (starred review)

I've read the paperback and wanted to hear it dramatized. I listened to this over four or five days. Throughly enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to the sequels.

Fantastic effort at bringing the story to life.

You become so invested it hurts your heart when it ends
If you love dragons this is the series for you

This is the first book in an incredible series. It’s so well written and narrated. The only problem with this book is that I had to buy the rest of the series right away - I couldn’t wait until I got more Audible credits. #noregret #Audible1

Incredible series.

I love Novik's standalone fantasy (Uprooted, especially) and never really thought about reading/listening to her Temeraire series (dragons are not really of interest to me). But I love Simon Vance as a narrator, so thought I would try the first book of the series. I was more than pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to listen to the novel. It is character driven and I was almost instantly attached to Temeraire and Laurence. The first few chapters I was waiting for the appearance of female characters (given that so many other of Novik's novels centre on strong female characters)....and I loved how she weaves in female characters in unexpected ways! I highly recommend this first book! I will definitely be listening to the second.

Exciting alternative history of Napoleonic Wars...

Simon Vance brings Naomi Noviks work to a whole other level. I'm excited and looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Best audio book I ever read

This is a very pleasant, light read/listen that doesn't bog you down with intricate world building nor does it require an extensive understanding of the historical background to enjoy. Novik's style lets you slide right into the setting with ease and her world building is well-paced so you learn as you go along with Laurence on his journey. The dragons are such endearing characters, truly my favourite part of the novel and the series. I also enjoyed Simon Vance's narration and can imagine no other voice for Téméraire!

Listened to HMD on a whim, no regrets!

The premise of dragons in a napoleonic Era is totally underused. I would have loved to see a more aggressive take on the warfare. I think the tea party family friendliness is incongruent with the savagery of war.
That said, I absolutely love the gentleman view and approach. Amazingly narrated.

Would have preferred a harsher view on battles

A truly excellent book. I know it’s a good book when I get miserable with people for interrupting the telling. Also I immediately re listen to it.
Not insanely long or horribly detailed a very nice distraction while working

Excellent book
