Chilling Effect

What makes it funny?

Psychic cats make ordinary work aboard the ship harder, while the crew trades jokes through dangerous assignments. Eva's problems include keeping an unlikely cargo under control as well as keeping her people alive.

The comedy at work

Each stop gives Eva another predicament to talk and improvise her way through. Her irreverence helps her cope with threatening people; pop culture references and affectionate crew banter give the adventure a conversational ease.

Try this if…

The crew relationships are a large part of the draw. Readers who like an accessible voice, alien encounters and an adventure that moves between separate missions can follow Eva's attempts to protect her sister without losing the family she has made aboard ship.

Good to know

Spanish dialogue isn't always translated. Expect profanity, stalking and sexual harassment, violence, kidnapping and sexual situations.
