Not quite 5. A great read and an imaginative alternate history, but I really couldn’t give it five stars for two reasons: 1. The last 100 or so pages was devoted to Luz & Ciera’s wardrobe, budding love affair, and the family villa where it will be consummated. I was reminded of the trashy overheated novellas that pre-teen girls enjoy. I’d rather have read about the further adventures and fate of Horst von Duckler. 2. The author, ordinarily a thoroughgoing researcher, had Gen. Wood speak of awarding Luz & Ciera the ‘Congressional Medal of Honor’ had they been military members. Our nation’s highest military decoration is awarded by the President at the recommendation of the relevant armed service. Congress is not involved. Hence, it is called simply the Medal of Honor.

Black Chamber. Mr. Starling has written alternate-universe stories before, and I have read them with great relish. In this book, he has surpassed himself. The plot and protagonist redefine derring-do, raising the bar quite a bit higher. I shan't include spoilers, but we see dirigibles (_The Peshawar Lancers_) again, Bad guys (some with moustaches, which they twirl), and that one-in-a-million chance which happens about every seventh time. I got it as an eBook, but may buy a print copy to lend (with suitable security, of course) to VERY trusted friends.
