Synopsis

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?

Goodreads review by John on November 23, 2023

4.25 stars rounded down. This third (and potentially last) installment of “The Chilling Effect” series capped everything off with tons of high stakes action with an undercut of some humor.

Goodreads review by Frank on August 23, 2022

Part of this style of humour is generated from the absurd asides and random twists and I think it was done ok here but it's not that easy to pull off well and I think the series came with some awkward moments; sometimes it's a fine line between silly and stupid. "I hate tech that’s indistinguishable......more

Goodreads review by Johan on February 23, 2023

9- A very satisfying close to a breezy, action packed space opera trilogy that riffs on popular franchises, has psychic cats, a feisty Cuban protagonist gathering a found family of misfits around her, with witty dialogue and a great, tense finale. Compared to the first two books in this series (I gu......more

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review! I want to be upfront and admit that when I started reading this book, I had no idea it was the third novel in the series.
