Just a quick plea for those of us (in the UK and elsewhere) with less
immediate access to this series: I just got #1 in paperback and saw #2
for the first time on the shelves...I don't think we even get #3 until
the end of the year (according to Amazon UK #2's not officially out
until next month, so go figure :-).

I adore it. Temeraire is just a ginormous poppet...I keep thinking of
him like a huge draconic cat. So I want to be able to read the rest of
the series without spoilage.

Therefore could people who do have access to the later books early
please make sure they flag up spoliage REALLY EARLY in their posts so
I can skip.

TIA HAND ;-)
