Brad Mendoza is an idiot. He knows it, and so does everyone else in the star nation of Prometheus.
Once a rising naval officer, Brad’s career crashed when a single mistake cost five hundred lives. Now, he’s been buried on Persephone—the worst ship in the fleet, a floating joke meant to keep him out of the way. But his new executive officer, Jessica Lin, is brilliant, fearless, and hiding something dangerous.
When an enemy warship four times their size closes in, Brad must lead a crew that doesn’t trust him and save a woman he can’t afford to care about. If he fails, they all die—and maybe they deserve to.
The Worst Ship in the Fleet opens Skyler Ramirez’s explosive Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes universe with sharp wit, high stakes, and heart.
