Communication Failure

Written by Joe Zieja

Narrated by Joe Zieja

In this sequel to Mechanical Failure, Captain Rogers, despite his best attempts to do otherwise, has become the acting admiral of the 331st Meridan fleet. His first task: worrying. A lot.

The rival Thelicosan fleet, under the influence of bad intelligence, a forbidden romance, and a communication officer with an eardrum injury, is about to break a two-hundred-year-old nonaggression pact. They have offered a vague, easily misinterpreted message: “We're invading.” Rogers isn't sure, but he thinks that's probably bad.

War is hell, especially when you've forgotten how to fight one.

Reviews for Communication Failure

[pascale1812 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great sequel, made me laugh even more than the first. The story is all around engaging, in style and delivery, with creative images (like lint being "little static ninjas") and A use of semaphore.

Also, the mathematically-minded Thelicosan’s are absolutely hilarious, with calls to destruction such as "We must visit an inverse sine wave of destruction on the Meridan fleet!" and the heartfelt benediction, "May your parallel lines never intersect.”
