I believe very strongly in ending things. I figured out the arc of books seven, eight, and nine, and I knew nine was going to be the end. In the process of doing the research for that book, I nailed down where I wanted the series to end. Naomi Novik: I’ve known since the moment I sat down to write book six. I spoke with Novik about leaving Temeraire behind (sort of), how she wrote Uprooted, and what she’s looking forward to.Īdam Morgan: What made you decide to end the series with this ninth book and was that a hard decision to make? The ninth and final Temeraire book League of Dragons pubs next month (June 14), and Novik is in Chicago this week for Book Expo America (BEA)’s BookCon, where she’ll sign autographs and appear on the panel “ Unwritten: Stories You Haven’t Read (Yet)” on Saturday. ![]() In her spare time between Temeraire books-named after their draconic protagonist-Novik managed to write a standalone novel, Uprooted, that made my own best-of-2015 list, and will likely make my best-of-the-decade list as well. Her Majesty’s Dragon was nominted for a Hugo (back when that actually meant something), and went on to spawn eight sequels. The Napoleonic Wars are historically fascinating in their own right, but 10 years ago, Naomi Novik added dragons. ![]() ![]() ![]() Luke was not known for his love of healthy food, but he did love to eat. ![]() This book is dedicated to my son Luke, who died in 2009 at the age of 26.

Steven Hyden explores nineteen music rivalries and what they say about life in this 'highly entertaining' book (Rolling Stone) perfect for every passionate music fan. Though it you want to know about that exercise, I can recommend Glen Berger’s Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History.Īnyway. ![]() Or to point out that two episodes from the author’s career - though I would not call them successes - go unmentioned entirely: U2’s 9/11 memorial performance at the 2002 Super Bowl halftime show, and Bono and The Edge’s ill-fated foray (with Julie Taymor!) into musical theatre with the Broadway flop Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. I didn’t find space to point out that the only two living world leaders for whom The Fly has anything less than an admiring word are Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. U2 was my first favorite band, and I remain, as I say in the piece, “wearily devout.” It’s been a few years (but only two albums) since the Paper of Record let me rank their albums!
