Arabella and the Battle of Venus
(2017)(The second book in the Adventures of Arabella Ashby series)
A novel by David D Levine
The thrilling adventures of Arabella Ashby continue in Arabella and the Battle of Venus, the second audiobook in Hugo-winning author David D. Levine's swashbuckling sci-fi, alternate history series!
Arabella's wedding plans to marry Captain Singh of the Honorable Mars Trading Company are interrupted when her fiance is captured by the French and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp on swampy Venus. Now Arabella must find passage to an enemy-controlled planet in the middle of a war, bribe or fight her way past vicious guards, and rescue her captain.
To do this she must enlist the help of the dashing privateer, Daniel Fox of the Touchstone, and build her own clockwork navigational automaton in order to get to Venus before the dread French general, Joseph Fouche, the Executioner of Lyon.
Once on Venus, Arabella, Singh, and Fox soon discover that Napoleon has designed a secret weapon, one that could subjugate the entire galaxy if they can't discover a way to stop Fouche and the entire French army from completing their emperor's mandate.
Genre: Science Fiction

Praise for this book
"If Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and Patrick O Brien had sat down together to compose a tale to amuse Jane Austen, the result might be "Arabella of Mars." So. Much. Fun!." - Madeleine E Robins
