They say it's 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. Bernat's 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?

Review of 'The guns above' on 'Goodreads'

I really enjoyed this and read it almost in one go. If you enjoy any Age of Sails novels, you will probably enjoy this, and if you enjoy Vorkisogan novels, you might enjoy this.

Josetta is an appealing protagonist; she knows she's better than she'll ever get a chance to be, still a little bit insecure, and a little bit of an asshole.
