À propos de cet audio
A hilarious, offbeat debut space opera that skewers everything from pop culture to video games and features an irresistible foul-mouthed captain and her motley crew, strange life forms, exciting twists, and a galaxy full of fun and adventure.
Captain Eva Innocente and the crew of La Sirena Negra cruise the galaxy delivering small cargo for even smaller profits. When her sister Mari is kidnapped by The Fridge, a shadowy syndicate that holds people hostage in cryostasis, Eva must undergo a series of unpleasant, dangerous missions to pay the ransom.
But Eva may lose her mind before she can raise the money. The ship’s hold is full of psychic cats, an amorous fish-faced emperor wants her dead after she rejects his advances, and her sweet engineer is giving her a pesky case of feelings. The worse things get, the more she lies, raising suspicions and testing her loyalty to her found family.
To free her sister, Eva will risk everything: her crew, her ship, and the life she’s built on the ashes of her past misdeeds. But when the dominoes start to fall and she finds the real threat is greater than she imagined, she must decide whether to play it cool or burn it all down.

It's a book filled with characters who are likeable and relatable. The main character is forced by fate to work for the mob, doing increasingly dangerous transport missions across the galaxy, coming into contact with all sorts of hostile aliens - while trying to deal with her tangled feelings for her own crew and family.
I wanted to like this book! The narrators are excellent, and the plot itself works. The book is both too zany for me and simultaneously too dark - a strange combination. I think that it is an excellent book, but not my cup of tea.
High pressure, dark relationship comedy in space
