El imperio de marfil (Temerario #4) / Empire of Ivory

by Naomi Novik

Overview

La tragedia ha golpeado el Cuerpo Aéreo de Su Majestad, cuya magnífica flota de dragones luchadores y sus capitanes humanos defienden con valentía las costas de Inglaterra de los ejércitos de Napoleón Bonaparte. Una epidemia de origen desconocido y sin cura conocida está diezmando los rangos de los nobles dragones, forzando a los afectados a entrar en cuarentena. Ahora tan solo Temerario y un grupo de dragones recién reclutados se mantienen libres de la infección, y se mantienen como la única defensa aérea contra las incursiones francesas, cada vez más osadas. Los dragones de Bonaparte ya están destrozando las naves británicas en alta mar. Solo queda un recurso: Temerario y su capitán, Will Laurence, deben volar a Africa, cuyas costas pueden albergar la cura de la misteriosa y mortal enfermedad. En esta misión no hay tiempo que perder.

Tragedy has struck His Majesty's Aerial Corps, whose magnificent fleet of fighting dragons and their human captains valiantly defends England’s shores against the encroaching armies of Napoleon Bonaparte. An epidemic of unknown origin and no known cure is decimating the noble dragons’ ranks—forcing the hopelessly stricken into quarantine. Now only Temeraire and a pack of newly recruited dragons remain uninfected—and stand as the only means of an airborne defense against France's ever bolder sorties. Bonaparte’s dragons are already harrowing Britain’s ships at sea. Only one recourse remains: Temeraire and his captain, Will Laurence, must take wing to Africa, whose shores may hold the cure for the mysterious and deadly contagion.
