Publisher's Summary

The 200 years' (and counting) peace was a time of tranquility that hasn't been seen since...well, ever. Mankind in the Galactic Age had finally conquered war, so what was left for the military to do but drink and barbecue? That's the kind of military that Sergeant R. Wilson Rogers lived in before he left the fleet to become a smuggler.

But it turns out that smuggling is hard. Like getting-arrested-for-dealing-with-pirates-and-forced-back-into-service kind of hard. It doesn't seem so bad - the military was a perpetual tiki party anyway - but when Rogers returns after only a year away, something has changed. These are soldiers - actual soldiers doing actual soldier things like preparing for a war that Rogers is sure doesn't exist. Rogers vows to put a stop to all this nonsense - even if it means doing actual work.

With an experienced ear for military doublespeak, Joe Zieja has created a remarkable and sarcastic adventure in Mechanical Failure.

My first audio book and I'm so glad that I gave it a try. this would have been a book that I would have read through happily. But the narrator really brought the book to life and I think this will be my first series on audible.

The story itself? Funny and smart. my favorite kind of books. A likeable cast of characters plus a few bad guys that you love to hate. smart writing that combines a sense of humor that I appreciate.

I enjoyed the univers this writer created. it's enough science fiction that I am used to, to feel comfortable with. but with enough new things to make it different from the other major franchises. I especially liked the military backdrop, it brought something extra to the table.
