Описание: In the tradition of Honor Harrington and the high-flying Temeraire series, Benniss THE GUNS ABOVE is an adventurous military fantasy debut about a nations first female airship captain.
They say its not the fall that kills you.
For Josette Dupre, the Corps first female airship captain, it might just be a bullet in the back.
On top of patrolling the front lines, she must also contend with a crew who doubts her expertise, a new airship that is an untested deathtrap, and the foppish aristocrat Lord Bernat, a gambler and shameless flirt with the military know-how of a thimble. Bernats own secret assignment is to catalog her every moment of weakness and indecision.
So when the enemy makes an unprecedented move that could turn the tide of the war, can Josette deal with Bernat, rally her crew, and survive long enough to prove herself?
Full of sass and terrific characters. Great storytelling. Loved it. --Patricia Briggs
