Eve is a bit of a wild child. She has a chip on her shoulder and makes decisions
for her starship crew without considering the consequences. She runs afoul of the Fridge, an extraterrestrial
criminal organization. She also refuses
the advances of a well-connected alien who does not take rejection well. The book details her adventures in trying to
take down one and avoid the other.
The story is good, classic space opera with Spanish overtones. Eve and her family appear to be Spanish
speaking descendants from someone who was originally from earth. Valdes creates a memorable bad girl with a
conscience. Pink, her bestie has a
conscience and is constantly reminding Eve of her lack of one. Min, is almost a stereotypical geek who
focuses on integrating her personality with the ship. Vakar and Eve have a relationship impacted
by olfactory overtones, excreted by Vakar and interpreted by Eve. Cryogenics are a factor in the title.
Good characterizations and an entertaining story.
Oh, there are also psychic cats.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
