Tongues of Serpents
Book 6 of the Temeraire series
Exiled for their actions against biological warfare, Laurence and Temeraire are transported to the struggling British colony in Australia. A mission involving stolen dragon eggs draws them across the unfamiliar interior amid colonial rebellion, smugglers, and competing claims to the land. Temeraire's political ideas continue developing as he sees another society built on coercion and unequal rights. Exploratory and morally restless, this installment suits readers who enjoy Australian settings, overland journeys, dragon politics, and heroes discovering that exile does not release them from questions of justice.
