The Worst Ship in the Fleet is the first book in the Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes series by Skyler Ramirez. After making a monumental mistake that led to the deaths of 504 civilians, Captain Brad Mendoza's military career in the Promethean Navy is in disarray. Assigned to the remote Gerson Station, Brad finds himself in command of the Persephone -- a frigate hailed as the worst ship in the Promethean Fleet. Resigned to his fate, Brad reluctantly meets his crew and soon develops an infatuation with Lieutenant Commander Jessica Lin, his beautiful and talented XO, who also has a dark past. However, on the way to a seemingly routine patrol, Brad and his crew encounter a dangerous threat they had not foreseen. Can they survive? And will Brad be able to protect his XO from her past?
A concise sci-fi novella filled with humor, heartbreak, and mystery, The Worst Ship in the Fleet takes you on an exhilarating interstellar adventure you won't want to end. Skyler Ramirez excels in crafting a compelling plot featuring characters you love to root for while others you love to hate. With a fast-paced narrative, Ramirez's sci-fi adventure tale hooks you in from the first page, and it's a thrilling ride to the finish line. A couple of well-placed twists and turns raise the stakes, and, as a reader, you find yourself hoping the main leads make it out of their situation alive. Ramirez's use of dry humor hits the nail on the head almost every time, and there were multiple instances throughout the book when I chuckled out loud. Fans of space opera science fiction will savor this one.
