Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem Complete Collection

Missions 1-16

By: J.S. Morin

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Better a lifetime on the edge of disaster than an honest day's work.

Chuck Ramsey is a traveling con man fronting as a comedian. After a gig on Earth, he picks Mordecai The Brown, a hitchhiking wizard on the run from his own kind. Chuck's ship, the Radio City, is a Winnebego of the stars, serving as both home and transport as he schemes and scams across the galaxy with his family. The pair form an unlikely bond, and "Mort" becomes a part of that family. The Ramseys, wizard in tow, embark on a journey of criminal hijinks, magical mayhem, and evasion of consequences for both.

They cross paths with wizard-hunters and smuggling kingpins, sheriffs from backwater border planets and underworld syndicates. Between Chuck's silver tongue and Mort's mystical mastery, they manage to get in and out of trouble on planets large and small. Money comes and goes, with the biggest score always the one yet to come. Danger sniffs at their trail wherever they go, but somehow, they find a way to keep going.

Chuck and Mort make many friends in their travels.

They make even more enemies.

And along the way, the two of them inadvertently help raise a boy to become one of the galaxy's unsung heroes.

Mirth & Mayhem is the full book collection of all 16 missions chronicling the adventures of the starship Radio City and the Ramsey family's adventures with houseguest/refugee Mort, along with six short stories.

The series follows a mismatched duo of itinerant comedian and outlaw wizard as they roam the galaxy trying to eke out a living and stay ahead of the consequences of their actions.

Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem looks back at an earlier era in the Black Ocean universe, and returning readers will get to see how some of their favorite characters came to be. Fans of morally gray heroes and slick-talking conmen will love this series.

You can’t go wrong

You can’t go wrong with JS Morin books. Especially with Mikael Naramore reading it with such great character depth. It’s like a movie in your head.

Good listen

Great prequel tieing the characters back to their origin. You could almost start with this series

Love this universe

This fills in a lot of gaps from the first two in this universe and Mort is awesome.

A great listen for its length!

I really like the of clash between magic and technology. I purchased mainly because of the length of the story. The characters were interesting and this book kept my attention throughout.

these books are a good time for sure

Mort might be my favorite character ever! It is amazing that he can write so much so fast. Thank you, Mr. Morin.

Ya read one you learn the players

Another great storyline by JS Moran. I love the black ocean series. it's long. it's complete. it gives you the backstories. it answers all the questions that you have as you're reading JS Moran is a great author

amazing

picked it up on audible recommend.
absolutely amazing.
the last 3 books take a dark turn, but in line with character development.

91 hours of "worth the credit"

I have exhausted this universe, or so I thought. I thought I was burnt out after the mercy for hire missions. I didn't realize I needed the prequal but for sure, I did. Everything I loved about Galaxy Outlaws and all the books in the in the Black Ocean series, lives in this one. I love every second of it. Seeing the influences that formed "Brad" was awesome. Mort and his deadly arrogance. More of Chuck's sleaziness. It is all so good.

Another great success.

This rewrites my perspective on black ocean mobius in the greatest way. I love this universe.

Why is this not a TV series???

Thoroughly entertaining adventures! Easily one of my favorite series and thankfully there are hours and hours of story that never derails from the storyline. I feel like dysfunctional family now has a new entry in dictionaries all over the galaxy! Well done!
