Just finished Victory of Eagles, what a read! I love how the third-person narrative is very Temeraire-esque in just the right occasions (the medal was not THAT shiny…etc!!!)
Just a (very humble) observation: considering the setting, the era and the backdrop, it was a little out-of-place, personally at least, to read “harbor” instead of “harbour” and “labor” instead of “labour”. Any thoughts?
Awaiting in eager anticipation for Tongues of Serpents (or any other title) heralding Book 6.

Mike, I actually love the idea of a dragon-spotter’s guide. Illustrated books can get pricey but I’m going to keep this idea in my THINK HARD ABOUT THIS file and maybe act on it in future. Thanks!

Am eagerly anticipating the next book! And re the cute little lizard, I think that’s a bearded dragon (aka beardie). We’ve got one as a pet – they are quite popular.

How about getting together with an appropriate artist and developing a dragon spotter’s guide? Something along the lines of a good field guide to birds.
Given that there are probably not as many species of dragons as there are birds, how about an identification guide such as those used in WW-II to identify friendly/enemy aircraft?
Yes, I was alive in WW-II. 6-10 years old, and my father came back in good health after years in the Pacific Theater. Incidentally he thought the Australians were wonderful, but a bit behind us in technology.
Holding my breath for #6. Turning purple now, hurry up & get it out before develop an apoplectic hernia!

Of course seeing as you are so close, it would be such a shame not to include some New Zealand action… the effect of dragons on the polynesian exploration and migrations of the pacific would be profound…

Can’t wait to read your alternativer approach to Australia but will you being getting back to China. Or rather, when will you be getting back to China?
I have been hooked by tior bokss and Sherwood Smith’s “Inda” serial. If I were you I would definitely be enjoying the success but please don’t keep us waiting too long. Anything I can do to help, just ask but please help me know Temeraire passes to another master!!! That will guarantee several more books. LOL.
Seriously, thank you for the read you do! – rjboggs
