Hugo and Nebula Award-winning hard SF author Larry Niven collects these short, snappy, and always thought-provoking tales for the first time. Written over the past 30 years, the stories serve as one of the more enjoyable and intelligent uses of the classic science fiction setting, a saloon where aliens and humans mingle freely. In the early 21st century, the interstellar liners of the giant, lobster-like Chirpithra began landing near the North Pole. In the years following, a town sprang up in Mount Forel, Siberia, to support the various arriving and departing alien species, and at the heart of that town is the Draco Tavern. Owned and operated by Rick Schumann, the Draco Tavern provides an opportunity for humans and aliens to imbibe species-specific intoxicants and learn from (and occasionally, disastrously misunderstand) one another.

This is the second installment of a series set in an alternate universe where intelligent dragons are employed by the military to fight the Napoleonic War. In the previous volume, HIS MAJESTY’S DRAGON, Captain Will Laurence of the British navy captured a highly prized Chinese dragon egg intended for Napoleon himself, and, when it hatched, bonded with the new dragon, Temeraire. Now, the Chinese Emperor, perceiving Temeraire’s association with a mere captain as an insult, has sent an embassy demanding that Temeraire return to China. As the dragon-human pair refuse to be parted, the two embark on the lengthy sea voyage to China, where a delicate and dangerous diplomatic mission awaits them.

Patrick O’Brian meets Anne McCaffrey in this rollicking debut fantasy, the first of a series set in an alternate world where the Napoleonic wars are fought with dragons. After Captain Will Laurence captures a French ship bearing a dragon egg on the verge of hatching, he knows that one of his crew must bond with the dragon or it will go feral, which would be a great loss to the English war effort. But he doesn’t expect the dragon, whom he names Temeraire, to choose him, forcing Laurence to give up his naval command and a potential marriage, to join the much-despised Aerial Corps. Although Laurence must put everything he knows behind him, he discovers that his new partnership with the intelligent and affectionate Temeraire has its own compensations.
