Carson’s Folly: The Misadventures of an Accidental Starship Captain by Y.N. Bar-Lev
Cosmic Chaos Meets Slow-Burn Redemption
Carson Twiddle hadn’t planned on his day being interrupted by a sentient cube. Then again, nothing in his life ever went according to plan.
Carson was a nobody—a file clerk with no ambition and even less confidence—until a galactic database error erased him from existence. Now, accidentally promoted to captain of the Rusty Bucket, a ship held together with spit and sarcasm, he faces an impossible action-filled journey with space pirates, dimensional anomalies, and a mischievous alien cube whose cosmic agenda includes revealing the galaxy’s greatest secrets—through Carson’s unlikely adventure and his growing partnership with Calista Nereida.
But as challenges pile up, Carson learns to trust his instincts, rise to the challenge, and embrace the loyalty of his unlikely crew—including Calista, who inspires him to be something greater and to form a relationship that becomes a slow-burn romance. Told with the wry humor of Terry Pratchett and the grand vision of Isaac Asimov, Carson’s Folly is a hilarious, heartwarming tale of redemption, packed with action, humor, and unforgettable characters.
