YAAdventures of Arabella Ashby series.
In the conclusion to this steampunk/alternate-history trilogy, England has defeated Napoleon on Venus and now intends to conquer Mars. Heroine Arabella is of English descent but was raised on Mars, so even though her new husband is leading England's mission, she allies herself with the native Martians. Levine once again successfully injects commentary on colonialism into an action-packed science-fiction tale.
