1. Arabella Of Mars
This novel transports readers to an alternate 19th century where the British Empire extends its reach to Mars through the use of airships in space. The story follows Arabella Ashby, a young woman raised on the Martian colony who embarks on a daring adventure across the stars. When a threat emerges that could jeopardize her family's safety, Arabella disguises herself as a boy to secure a position aboard a Mars-bound ship. Along the way, she faces numerous challenges, including dealing with the intricacies of navigation and the prejudices of her crewmates, all while racing against time to save her loved ones. Combining elements of steampunk, adventure, and a touch of romance, the novel offers a unique blend of science fiction and historical fiction, set against the backdrop of an imaginatively re-envisioned 19th-century spacefaring era.
