There's already fan fiction.ģ.5 stars, with a value added five-star narration. Some historical battles occur as we know them, others are drastically altered The addition of aerial warfare causes tactics from much later periods to be introduced I loved these books. Besides exploring issues of biological warfare, slavery, prisons, and international relations in a fantastic setting, these books also look at military strategy and tactics in great detail. Their use in war is explored, for they are living weapons.
Dragons are revealed to be intelligent beings, capable of reason and deserving of rights. The taxonomy of dragons is expanded to include other mythical creatures. A whole tapestry has developed through the nine novels.
This started out as a "High Concept": If dragons existed, and could be weaponized, how would this have altered history? This is explored through the partnership of one dragon, Temeraire, and his master, Will Laurence, late of His Majesty's Navy, during the Napoleonic wars. As this is the conclusion of the Temeraire series, my comments apply to all nine books.
