Synopsis

Being responsible is terrible… Brad Mendoza always wanted to be an admiral, but now that he’s been promoted, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it’s downright stressful. So when he flees his responsibilities to go chase down some slavers, he’s hoping for a nice, relaxing mission with his new wife and their ragtag crew. But the man they’re chasing isn’t who they think he is, and Brad and Jessica soon learn that they’re the prey, not the hunters. Now, Brad has to defeat an enemy who’s better armed, better funded, and deadset on killing him and the love of his life. The only sure thing is that he’ll find a way to mess it all up. The exciting ninth book in the Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes series, The Worst Admiral in the Star Cluster will have you on the edge of your seat, biting your nails and laughing along with our dead heroes as they once again unwittingly save the galaxy.
