His Majesty's Dragon
The Amazon link is here. Go buy it. There is no excuse not to, except my own: I'm moving, and I won't buy any more books until I can put them on the shelf in the new house.
Then I plan on buying three copies, so that I can pass them out.
So waddaya want? You want Jane Austin's domestic details and Napoleonic England? You got it: a little bit, but very nicely managed.
You want Napoleonic battles a la Hornblower and Master-and-Commander? You got it: a whole lot, for at least two chapters, with the echoes through the rest of the book.
You want alternate history? Oh baby, let me hand you the drool rag.
You want dragons battling it out in the skies overhead? Yep yep yep.
You want details without data dumps? Fully-realized alternate worlds? Interspecies friendships unreliant on telepathy? The alarmed alien's observation of human social interaction? The culture shock of a citizen discovering that not all is as he believed it to be? Consequences?
Go buy this book. Read the reviews first, if you want.
*Now has an additional reason to be impatient for Closing Day.*
