Crucible of Gold (Temeraire)

Crucible of Gold (Temeraire)

â€œAn absorbing adventure.â€â€”Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Â
Former Aerial Corps captain Will Laurence and his faithful dragon, Temeraire, have been put out to pasture in Australiaâ€”and it seems their part in the war has ended just when they are needed most. The French have invaded Spain, forged an alliance with Africaâ€™s powerful Tswana empire, and brought revolution to Brazil. With Britainâ€™s last desperate hope of defeating Napoleon in peril, the government that sidelined Laurence swiftly offers to reinstate him, convinced that heâ€™s the best man to enter the fray and negotiate peace. So the pair embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that forces them to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Incan empire. With the success of the mission balanced on a razorâ€™s edge, an old enemy appears and threatens to tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurkâ€”for one bold enough to grasp it.
