The Guns Above: A Signal Airship Novel (The Signal Airship Novels Book 1)
Robyn Bennis’s THE GUNS ABOVE is an adventurous military fantasy debut about a nation's first female airship captain.
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?
“Full of sass and terrific characters. Great storytelling. Loved it.” —Patricia Briggs

The main character of the book, Josette Dupre, gets promoted to command an airship. She becomes her nation's first female captain and some people (men) do not like it.
Lord Bernat, an aristocratic dandy, is sent to spy on her and report on her actions. Certain men want her to fail.
There is some violence in this book. After all this is a military adventure.
Military adventures are not my cup of tea, but my science fiction/fantasy book club chose this to read I tried to keep an open mind about it.
