Lord Nelson in Spaaaaaace!

Today is the release day for my friend David D. Levine’s first novel, Arabella of Mars.  The story features the Napoleonic Wars fought between planets by a sailing navy, and showcases a young heroine described as “a Patrick O’Brian girl fighting a Jane Austen world.”

David talks more about the book and its concepts over on Scalzi’s blog.

If you’re into swashbuckling, cross dressing heroines, classic interpretations of Mars, and Jules Verne-type scientific romances, this is one you should definitely board, capture, and carry home.
