Description

"Because it’s nice to be reminded that sci-fi can be super silly and super smart about it, and because sarcastic homicidal robots rule." -- The Best Science Fiction & Fantasy Books of 2016 ― B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog Joe Zieja is an author with a long history of doing things that have almost nothing to do with writing at all. A graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, Joe dedicated over a decade of his life to wearing The Uniform, marching around in circles and shouting commands at people while in turn having commands shouted at him. It was both a great deal of fun and a great nuisance, and he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Joe’s also a commercial voiceover artist and a composer of music for video games and commercials. He’s probably interrupted your Spotify playlist at least once to encourage you to click on the banner below and isn’t the least bit upset that you ignored him. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission.

Features & Highlights

  • In this sequel to
  • Mechanical Failure
  • , Captain Rogers, despite his best attempts to do otherwise, has become the acting admiral of the 331st Meridan fleet. His first task: worrying. A lot.
  • The rival Thelicosan fleet, under the influence of bad intelligence, a forbidden romance, and a communication officer with an eardrum injury, is about to break a two-hundred-year-old nonaggression pact. They have offered a vague, easily misinterpreted message: “We’re invading.” Rogers isn’t sure, but he thinks that’s probably bad. War is hell, especially when you’ve forgotten how to fight one.

A comedic Sci Fi Romp

May your parallel lines never intersect Mr. Zeija.

A great sequel to the first, this book raises the stakes and doubles down on sarcastic, silly scifi humor. I could not recommend this enough.

Great follow up to Mechanical Failure

This was an awesome book with a neat premise and fun writing, just as with Zieja's novel Mechanical Failure. This sequel is even better than the original and sets up what will hopefully be an awesome finale to the series.

Fun is unfailingly communicated.

My son gave me this for Christmas. I found it funnier than the first book. The characters are great. Capt. Rogers has been promoted to command the fleet flagship "Flagship" and now the enemy Thelicosian fleet had just dropped out of unspace, transmitted a message ("We're Invading") after a 200 Year Peace (and counting) which was supposed to be "We're Inviting". Their fleet Grand Marshall want's to marry Roberts (to continue the counting) and he doesn't. He gets stuck on her ship and has a hard time getting away. Still, he finds that her ship's crew is as dysfunctional as his. There's also a plot to...well, you'll have to read the book. Complications arise. Characters are believably odd. I kept giggling to myself.

Not a Failure in my Book

I finished reading Communication Failure this morning. It was great, I enjoyed it even more than the previous entry, Mechanical Failure. It picked up right where the first book left off and was able to keep the momentum going. I loved seeing the old cast evolve a bit over the course of this story and the new editions introduced in this entry of the trilogy added more depth to the setting. It was hilarious too, so I'd call that a victory.
