Another great adventure. I enjoyed meeting some new characters and loved reading the latest exploits of returning characters. (

This was a slightly disappointing sequel in that the middle is heavy and slow. It doesn't flow quite as well as the first book, and the attempt at a love triangle was awkward and unnecessary. Still, the last portion is filled with cracking good action. Reading the acknowledgments, I saw that Levine lost his wife and it made me feel immense compassion and colored some of my perception of the book. 3.5 stars. (

Arabella is at it again when she hires a privateer to take her to Venus where her fiance is being held by the French, headed by Napoleon. She continues to flaunt social norms but ends up saving the day several time due to her mechanical aptitude and out-of-the-box thinking. Love the ending. (

Excellent adventure of the steampunk-alt-history-regency variety!

I *think* I'd get more if I knew more *real* history, but still, this is a great swashbuckler! In a universe with wooden spaceships and Napoleon in exile on the Moon (till his escape), there is no limit to the action as Arabella fights to travel from Mars to Venus to rescue her fiance from a French prison camp. Lots of twists and turns in a terrific adventure! (

When Arabella hears that her beloved Capt Singh has been taken as a prisoner of war by the French and held on Venus, she finds a pirate captain willing to take her there. After a difficult journey, the ship is captured by the French and Arabella finds herself also a prisoner and her captain much changed. Espionage, Napoleonic wars, Fulton, escape, and battles ensue.
