Fault Tolerance

“This is a wild and imaginative adventure that captures the importance of one’s chosen family.” — BookPage on Prime Deceptions“Eva’s personal growth and the found family aboard La Sirena Negra—including the crew’s psychic cats—will draw readers in and delight series fans.” — Publishers Weekly on Prime Deceptions“Jam-packed with weird aliens, mysterious artifacts, and lovable characters… Eva and her family are Latinx and often include un-italicized Spanish in their dialogue, a rare find in a genre that usually uses whiteness as the default. A tremendous good time and an impressive debut.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on Chilling Effect“Featuring memorable Cuban-descended characters, this engaging space opera debut delivers a story that dances between hilarity and seriousness, with all the joy and frustration psychic cats can bring to the mix.” — Library Journal (starred review) on Chilling Effect“Imagine if Firefly and Mass Effect got together and had a baby, and that baby were delivered by Guillermo del Toro. This book is that baby. ¡Esto fue un triunfo!” — Curtis C. Chen, author of the Locus Award finalist Waypoint Kangaroo, on Chilling Effect
