Publisher's Summary

The galaxy’s worst bounty hunter just might be its most relentless hero.

Esper Richelieu is a wizard with a mission: To make the galaxy a better place one lost soul at a time.

Donning the trappings of an interstellar bounty hunter, she delves into the galaxy’s underworld to search out those most in need of help. Whether it’s a teenage runaway or an actor kidnapped by cultists, the victim comes first.

Money is an afterthought. That confuses a lot of clients.

But sometimes the best way to get someone to accept the help they need is to convince them to pay for it. Other times, clients unwittingly fund their own reparations by hiring the last person who’d want to aid them in continuing their wicked ends.

But are pure intentions enough against the vilest forces in the galaxy?

Very nice magician stories.

I really like the Galaxy outlaw series. When I saw this book series of Esper venturing out into her own. I kinda got a little excited and had high hopes. However though, It's not the same Esper as in the previous series. The author gave the lead character a huge "goody two shoes" morality boost. Although majority of the book is Esper being a goody goody two-shoe, the author does explore other avenues about her potential character flaws. So in general the book has its ups and downs and some sections just drags on for like ever, but overall I did enjoy it. Wesley Wesley and Kubo are my favorite. Potty mouth Tiffany not so much.
Mikael Naramore does an excellent job of reading the book, and if it wasn't for him I would probably given the overall book score one less star.

Sci-fi, wizards and Crime. What could go wrong?

Esper went from my least favourite character in the black ocean Moebius Missions (listen to them, they're awesome) to the leader of her own scrappy gang of do-gooding criminals. Love the stories and Naramore's soothing, yet expressive, narration!

Scooby Doo Mysteries for Adults

I listen to many different genres. Historical to post apocalyptic. To get away from the serious, these books do just that.
Fun, entertaining, full of action and humor. These made me laugh out loud, a lot.
Around the 3rd or 4th mission I was struck with the thought that these reminded me of Scooby Doo when I was a kid. These are not childish, don't get me wrong. The characters, the good guys prevail, the lack of seriousness is what matters. The language, sexual connotations and the "mysteries" are anything but child friendly.
I thought after 90 plus hours, I'd be happy to move along to something else. I was wrong. I love the lightheartedness of these books.

one of my favourite series

Love the concept, wizards in space are great fun.

Can't recommend this series and it's predecessor, the Mobius series enough.

So good!

I wasn't sure how this was going to go but was pleasantly surprised on the character arcs. There were plenty of unpredictable events that made it all that more enjoyable. Keep up the good work J.S. you got a fan.
