Misfortune’s Favorite by John J Spearman
English | 2025 | Science Fiction
War has broken out. It’ll take the Navy’s finest to turn the tide.
Bad luck seems to follow navy officer Archer Devereaux like toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Even when he tries to do the right thing, he ends up in hot water—or behind bars.
Hemmed in by circumstances beyond his control, his reputation, particularly among graduates of the Phlegraean Naval Academy, has become a mess.
Fortunately, one of his superior officers knows that Devereaux is more than his mishaps. She sees that he’s a clever young officer. Cool under fire.
He also demonstrates remarkable resilience, looking for—and finding—ways to overcome adversity. It’s a good thing too.
Interstellar war has come. It’ll take the Navy’s finest to turn the tide. It’ll take Archer Devereaux.
