![]() ![]() ![]() Arabella is not so enthralled, because she sees how authentic it isn't, and what should be a positive trip goes even further south when the Prince Regent outlines his plans for England to invade Mars and bring civilisation to the savages there. I liked this location, because it's purest exotica: Mars outside and Venus inside, reminding of the Egyptian craze of the twenties. However, this one, even though it begins on Earth and includes another long space voyage, ends up on Mars and stays there until a sojourn over to Phobos.Īrabella and her husband, Captain Singh, are on Earth, as we begin, to visit the Prince Regent at his new pavilion, now that they're heroes of the realm, following their parts in the battle that ends book two. 'Arabella and the Battle of Venus', of course, focuses on that planet. For all that the first book was titled 'Arabella of Mars', little of it was spent on that planet, most of it taking place on the currents that carry Arabella there from Earth. In many ways, I expected to like this one most of all, because it spends much more time on Mars than Levine has allowed thus far. I have to say that I enjoyed this one too, for all the same reasons, but the downside is more obvious in what I presume is the last in a trilogy. Forester with Edgar Rice Burroughs behind a plucky heroine. Levine's 'Arabella of Mars' series immensely there's something this steampunk can't resist in combining C. I enjoyed the first two books in David D. ![]()
