Golden Age and Other Stories
by Naomi Novik
An original Temeraire collection with each tale inspired by an accompanying piece of fan art. The Temeraire novels provide a window into an alternate nineteenth century populated with Novik’s human and draconic characters as they adventure alongside well-known historical figures. That tradition continues here. The collection includes appearances by characters from the series and historical figures like the famed explorer Matteo Ricci.
In “Planting Season,” Novik shows an early glimpse of American dragon John Wampanoag at Boston Harbor. “Golden Age” finds a dragon who believes he remembers being called Celeste hatch from a shipwreck-tossed crate onto an island where he meets others of his kind. Other famous fictional characters are to be discovered here as well, including Miss Bennet (here Captain Bennet) and her suitor, Mr. Darcy, in “Dragons and Decorum.”
