The perfect book for the perfect moment in my life. I was in the mood for some science fiction, but not heavy science fiction and, of course, I prefer humorous science fiction. I mean, I could have read Hitchhiker AGAIN, but instead I went with Calamity because I liked the way the book felt in my hand when I pulled it from the library's shelf. True story. Temperance is a bad ass ship captain with a ragtag crew on a bucket of bolts (I know, I know). They have been hired by one of the top 5 families to scope out a remote planet for a new fuel called phydium. The problem, they have to take the super hot, super smart son with them to oversee security. Oh, darn. Think The Expanse (which also features several romances!) with a great sense of humor and scene after scene of kick butt action. I actually had to put the book down once or twice just to give myself a break. And I like Temperance and Arcadio together. The crew is amazing too. I can't wait for the second book, [b:Fiasco 195790808 Fiasco (Uncharted Hearts, #2) Constance Fay https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1705699196l/195790808.SY75.jpg 197724609].
