Space for Cats

Starship Cat #3

by L.J. Dix

She stowed away for adventure. She stayed to become legend.

Jack Caddigan never expected his stowaway cat Princess to change the course of space travel. But when a feline chase across the starship's controls unexpectedly tears the Amiira Yasmine from hyperspace, something extraordinary happens. Something that shouldn't be possible.

When playful cats accidentally unlock a new way to navigate hyperspace, the crew of the Amiira Yasmine thinks they've struck gold. But someone wants what the Amiira has discovered. Someone willing to do anything to get it.

Meanwhile, a Bythian Navy cruiser is dying in the void, its life support failing after a pirate attack. The Amiira's accidental discovery might be the only way to reach them in time—but no one truly understands what the cats unleashed.

Now Princess must venture where no cat has gone into the twisted wreckage of a battleship, where air is running out and time is the enemy. Their only hope depends on someone small. Someone fearless. Someone who's been sneaking through ventilation shafts since day one.

Will the galaxy's first starship cat become its greatest hero—or has her luck finally run out?

Pick up this purr-fect blend of humor, heart, and high stakes in space.

This series finale is a very quick and easy read that focuses on a future spaceship team. The primary characters are Jack and his cat Princess. Princess has been involved in some pretty intriguing situations in the 2 previous books and this is no different. There is a bit more day-in-the-life info in this one but a few cat inspired situations keep the crew hopping and help to save another ship in an emergency. Overall a fun series with a relatable team and their cats.

I hate this book!!! No not really, only because it is the last one and I have no more to look forward to in this series. The story wrap up made me very happy as far as loose ends were concerned. I don't think it is a spoiler to say there were no great surprises for us in the plot. There were just enough to make things interesting.

Cute stories

I really enjoyed these stories about Princess, her human Jack, and the crew. The characters were very relatable and the stories made you enjoy their adventures in space. I have also enjoyed LJ Dix's other books and am looking forward to more of her stories.

Loved cats

This was a fun series. You could
tell LJ is a cat lover as well as a cat observer. I liked the way she integrated the present and past in her story telling. Good job LJ.
