Arabella and the Battle of Venus by David D. Levine

3.0

Arabella is patiently waiting with her brother on Mars for her fiancé, Captain Singh, to return from his travels in order from them to be married. Of course, the good Captain ends up captured by the French and held in a iron camp before he can do so! Arabella, as those of you who have read the first book know, is not one to sit idly by and wait for his relief. It's back to the airships and off to her captain's rescue wish us along for the ride!

Arabella's heroics stand up to her previous hands, but a bit more so as she deals with her chaperone on his journey and the roguish Captain Fox. There are the French of course, as well as the Venetians that we meet to. Arabella has a different perspective than her contemporaries and it is that perspective that allows them their victories as this team of crewmates, and family, works together.

Also there are battles. Battles are fun.
