Fault Tolerance

A Novel

By: Valerie Valdes

Narrated by: Almarie Guerra

From the author of the critically acclaimed Prime Deceptions and Chilling Effect, the hilarious new novel about the adventures of Captain Eva Innocente and the crew of La Sirena Negra.

Nothing wrecks Captain Eva Innocente’s vacation plans quite like an anonymous threat to vaporize billions of people. Hundreds of monoliths have suddenly materialized in space, broadcasting the same looped message: surrender or be exterminated. Is the universe being epically spammed?

Surrender to whom? Exterminated when? And how is Eva, commander of a beat-up cargo ship, supposed to prevent it? As panic spreads, a mystery message sends Eva to find answers, in a system that hasn’t been explored in all of recorded history.

With the crew of La Sirena Negra, a score of psychic cats, a feline-phobic robot, and a superweapon she has no clue how to use, Eva prepares to battle the unknown. But first, she has to defeat the known: mercenary Tito Santiago, whose idea of a clean fight is a shower before kill time. His mission is to ensure Eva doesn’t succeed at hers.

If anything goes wrong, the universe is doomed. But if everything goes according to Eva’s plans—wait, when does that ever happen?

Ended up listening to the whole thing in less then a week

Great little story of romance, saving the universe, etc. it is fun and engaging, as long as you don’t care about accurate physics (I enjoy those too, but this is a good story)

Fun sci-fi bubblegum novel.

Just a fun romp with space aliens, monsters, robots and best of all, cats. Nothing earth shattering, but a great read/listen and series.

It was okay, hoping the next is better

It was okay enough to keep my attention, but I found myself frustrated with parts of the book. I hope this isn’t the end of the series because there are some unanswered or unexplored areas that need to followed. Was it the best from this author? No it wasn’t, but it wasn’t terrible either. I liked the new characters and storylines this book introduced us to.

I can't stand the protagonist

Spoiler Alert: I had to end the listening when she lost the key. That was one too many irrational actions by the protagonist to endure this story any longer
