About this listen
Galactic Mayhem Meets an Unlikely Hero
He’s an accidental captain; she’s a stunning alien genius. Love, adventure, humor, and cosmic secrets entwine in this star-swept odyssey!
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.
A file clerk with no ambition and even less confidence, Carson was content with his unremarkable life—until a database error accidentally erased all record of his existence. By an obscure bureaucratic twist of fate, he's suddenly promoted to captain of the Rusty Bucket, a spaceship held together with spit, duct tape, and sarcasm.
- "...The characters and dialogue are endearing and enjoyable. Also, I like that the book is clean. It is hard to find clean science fiction and fantasy." - From a Reviewer
Now, with space pirates on his tail, an alien cube leaking universe-shattering secrets, and the enigmatic Calista—captain of a Rigellian research vessel—watching his every move, Carson must navigate interdimensional anomalies, cosmic conspiracies, and the growing realization that he might be more than just an administrative mistake.
- "...The humor is sharp, the dialogue crackles with wit, and the crew of the Rusty Bucket is full of quirky, unforgettable characters...." - From a Reviewer
As the challenges mount, Carson learns that being a leader isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having the right crew. With Calista challenging him at every turn and a slow-burn, clean, and wholesome romance unfolding, Carson’s Folly delivers an action-packed, heartwarming sci-fi adventure filled with humor, high-stakes peril, and unforgettable characters. This novel revives the found family trope romance genre in a funny sci-fi setting.
- "...With a barely-functioning ship, a mismatched crew, and a knack for stumbling into intergalactic trouble, Carson’s journey is packed with witty dialogue and unexpected depth..." - From a Reviewer
For fans of Douglas Adams, John Scalzi, and the wit of Terry Pratchett, this is a tale of accidental heroism, reluctant leadership, and the wild unpredictability of the cosmos. This book is recommended for all ages: teens & young adults, adults, parents, and grandparents who love a good, clean story with romance, adventure, action, and a heartwarming conclusion. Based on wholesome, traditional science fiction storytelling and strong characters with redemption, challenges, personal growth, action, and teamwork at the core.
