Publisher's summary
Her father's been pronounced dead. Destructive earthquakes ravage the countryside. An invading army looms over the horizon. And Zaira's day is just getting started....
Abandoned at an early age, Zaira von Monocle found life as the daughter of a great adventurer to be filled with hard work and difficulty. She quickly learned to rely on only herself. But when a messenger brought news that her father was dead and that she was the heir to his airship, her world turned upside down.
Zaira soon finds herself trapped in the midst of a war between her home country of Rislandia and the cruel Wyranth Empire, whose soldiers are acting peculiarly - almost inhuman. With the enemy army advancing, her newfound ship’s crew may be the only ones who can save the kingdom.
For Steam and Country is the first book in the Adventures of Baron Von Monocle series by top-10 Amazon best-selling space-opera author, Jon Del Arroz.

Geary believed in the Alliance. Even when he uncovered overwhelming evidence that the highest echelons of the government and fleet command were involved in secret programs and prison camps, he believed it was worth saving. He believed his duty was to see that justice was served even though some factions feared that revealing the truth would cause the Alliance to crumble. But after narrowly surviving two assassination attempts when he brings evidence of the misdeeds to the capital star system, Geary realizes that some want to get rid of him.

steampunk escape.
For Steam and Country is everything the title promises. It's and an airship adventure with a dangerous mission and the outcome of a war in the balance. The rallying cry for the crew is the titular "For Steam and Country."
I loved that this wasn't straight military fiction. The story had fantasy elements and a great coming of age plot.
the narrator did really well, making each character their own voice and infusing personality into the reading.

Enjoyed and already planning to listen to next book
I wasn’t too much into steampunk before listening to this. I was familiar with the genre here and there, but wasn’t really my thing.
I listened to this book almost entirely from beginning to end with almost no need to rewind or repeat. It was very easy to listen to and follow along. The main character is a strong and independent female but she’s got her flaws and weaknesses, and needs to rely on others. So no Mary Sue here.
The narrator did a great job portraying Zaira, since the book is written from a first person point of view.
Since the book is written in first person view of the protagonist, that also leaves a lot of the world and imagery to the reader’s imagination. So having at least a basic understanding of steampunk and it’s typical characteristics would help.
I imagine this story could serve as the source for a comic or even film adaptation.
Looking forward to the next book already!

What I got was a excellent story that left me wanting more.
I wholeheartedly recommend it.

For Steam and Country!
I think this book would make a great animated movie. The narrator sounds a little flat and takes a little getting used to, but don’t let that discourage you.
When you get to the escape, I suggest bumping up the speed to 1.25. The story loses a little ‘steam’ with reunions and conversations that I feel would’ve been postponed until a safer time. The increased speed should help you hold onto a sense of urgency.
The good out weighs the bad, so read For Steam and Country!

A fun steampunk adventure
I'm not a big fan of steampunk stories but found this one quite fun and enjoyable. The main character is a easily believable young woman strughling against the shocking turn of events in her life. Plucked from her family farm while she's a strong and resourceful woman shes not ridiculously morphed into a combat savant. Something I hate that is too often seen in lesser writers work.
