Arabella and the Battle of Venus

“Arabella embarks on another entertaining quest in an imaginative setting that combines 19th-century seafaring
with pulp-style space adventure.” —Publishers Weekly
Though happy to be back on her home planet of Mars, Arabella’s peace is shattered when she receives
distressing news. Her long-absent fiancé Capt. Prakash Singh, commander of the Honorable Mars Company
airship Diana, has been taken as a prisoner of war on Venus, the very planet where the exiled Napoleon has
fled.
Desperate to rescue Singh any way she can, Arabella pays off the gambling debts of a rakish privateer captain
in order to arrange passage on his vessel. But when they’re captured by a French squadron and taken to Venus,
Arabella finds herself reunited with Singh, as a captive in the same brutal prison-camp.
In a spacefaring adventure filled with interplanetary espionage, cosmic combat, and mind-blowing inventions,
Arabella finds herself torn between two very different—yet ultimately courageous—men. Together they plot a
daring conspiracy to expose Napoleon’s dangerous plan: the building of a secret weapon that would make the
French emperor virtually unstoppable.
Praise for Arabella of Mars
“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 Robins, author of the Sarah
Tolerance Regency mystery series
“A fanciful romp through a cosmic 1812, Hugo Award–winning Levine’s first novel is a treat for steampunk
fantasy fans.” —Library Journal (starred review)
