Publisher's Summary

A station at the edge of the galaxy is about to become the center of the universe.

Cedric the Brown is a wizard with a dark past. In an effort to make amends, he hides in plain sight among the residents of a space station he once nearly destroyed. Cut adrift by a bankrupt megacorp, the mobile mining station sets off to uncharted space in a desperate attempt to scrape by. 

What they stumbled onto would change the course of the galaxy. 

A planet. 

A lost alien race. 

A secret that will lead to all-out war. 

How will a station filled with scoundrels and crewed by former miners handle being the fulcrum of history? 

Astral Prime is a collection of all 12 Black Ocean missions chronicling the adventures of a mining station on the edge of known space, along with five short stories. This series follows in the traditions of Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5 with high-stakes space station intrigue and epic discoveries.

Great story and performance

Impeccable value for one credit. Satisfying throughout. I recommend the other collections as well.

Solid Entry

While it maybe doesn't have the same flashy fun factor as other series in this universe, it makes up for it in being high-concept and a bit more epic. Mikael Paramore is one of the absolute best narrators out there and this is no exception.

Fantasy fiction in the garb of sci fi.

I started this hoping it to be sci fi. I listened to the whole of it coz I terminated my audible account and needed something. The plot is decent, but I don't like magic based and fantasy fiction.

What am I listening to?

This book is science fiction with magic and wizards. The book does neither well and the attempt is unsatisfying. The story can't fall back on the characters either. Every single one of them is a stereotype of their profession.

It was okay.

I loved Galaxy Outlaws and Mercy For Hire. I was expecting more light, easy fairing scifi adventures from the Black Ocean.
This one was overly existential and monotonous.
I listen to many serious fiction and nonfiction and this wasn't one, as hard as it tried to be. I found myself fast forwarding the never ending litany by one particular character. It grew tiresome and I grew weary.
I highly recommend the other books in the Black Ocean series.
I was quite disappointed in this one.
Mikael Naramore was fantastic as usual!!!
