Lies That Bind Us: Mission 13

Black Ocean: Passage of Time

The only thing crazier than the rescue plan is the backup plan.

Carl Ramsey is a dead man. Or he will be soon. Captured by the Eyndar Empire, his old Third War service record becomes a list of charges. Actions that earned him commendations and acclaim from his own side resulted in thousands of deaths to his eyndar foes, and they plan to make a public celebration out of his executions. Plural. Thanks to medical science, they have Six Deaths lined up. With a calendar of events available via the omni, the Arete crew has a very literal deadline to work with formulating a rescue plan.

How does a small crew, even as gifted as those of the Arete, sneak into the capital city of an enemy species' homeworld, reach a captive of the highest profile, and get back out alive? To answer that question, an old friend has to reveal a long-kept secret.

Meanwhile, a forgotten member of the team works in the shadows on a contingency that just might be worse than failure.

Lies That Bind Us is the thirteenth mission of Black Ocean: Passage of Time, a science fantasy series set in the late 26th century. What if Futurama jumped 5 years ahead instead of 1000? What if Doc and Marty lost the car keys? What if Bonnie and Clyde were siblings instead of lovers? Passage of Time jolts the Black Ocean universe forward into new adventures and new perils with a new cast of zany misfits trying to outsmart the galaxy just to get by.

Strap in and hold on tight. Passage of Time is the latest series in the Black Ocean universe, and it’s going to be an action-packed, mystery-filled, madcap ride across the galaxy!
