Captain Andrew's Flying Christmas (Steampunk Smugglers) [Kindle Edition]

Heather Hiestand (Author)

Book Description

Housemaid Linet Fenna would rather be an air pirate than a servant. When she finds the ladder to an airship dangling outside her garret window on Christmas Eve, 1892, she ascends to the skies above London on her late father’s flagship dirigible, the Christmas. The new captain is someone she never expected to see again, a dangerous, sexy foe. Is the Fenna family nemesis offering Linet her heart’s desire or a dastardly trap?

Captain Andrew’s motivations are as foggy as the coal-soaked sky. Prime Minister Gladstone’s Blockaders, a horde of automen and a teenage girl named Hatchet want Linet to fail in her quest to discover what happened to her missing family, but she is determined to have a happy Christmas.

Captain Andrew’s Flying Christmas is a 16,000-word steampunk romance novella.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enticing bit of Steampunk! October 19, 2011

By Teagan Oliver

With everyone's twist on Steampunk and it's subgenre it's almost impossible to get the story you are looking for, but when I started reading Ms. Hiestand's Captain Andrew's Flying Christmas I was immediately pulled into the story. It had action, adventure and romance. I love how she blended the recognizable, everday world with the fantasy of an alternate reality, working out the wonderfully intricate details of the story and giving us an airship ride that is believable, enticing and intriguing. I'm wanting more stories in this line and hope they are coming soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars An early holiday delight! October 17, 2011

By E. M. Flynn

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

CAPTAIN ANDREW'S FLYING CHRISTMAS is my favorite type of holiday offering: short, sweet, and noncaloric! Seriously, I didn't know what to expect with a "steampunk smuggler" story, but I found out that it's a little bit science fiction, a little bit romance, and more than a little bit charming!

By Shoshanna Evers

This novella is Steampunk adventure at its finest. The airships, the inventions and gadgets, the romance, and the Christmas spirit kept me clicking my ereader as fast as I could to find out what happened next! Highly recommended - and a steal at only 99cents.
