Oh, I also read the Majesty's Dragon series.
Alt.history of Napoleonic War with... dragons. Pretty entertaining. |

Cool picture. The coolest part about the series is that dragons have basically become warships in their own rights. They have captains, flight crews, ground crews and such.. at least in Europe. In Asia, they're completely different. It's a really unique, cool workup of draconian culture that the author creates.

BTW,
Just looked at the wikipedia page for the Temeraire series. Evidently Peter Jackson has the rights to the film and is planning on making the movies. |

I've never read any of those, although I did catch part of the movie on HBO some night.
Apparently the series is nothing at all more than a retelling of the original Star Wars trilogy...but with dragons! The main selling point being "it was written by a teenager!" |
