Publisher's Summary

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.

Can’t wait for more!

All of the Black Ocean books leave me waiting for the next. The characters feel like old friends that I can’t wait to catch up with. Luke Daniels is excellent at giving life to each of the characters.

Une chance que JS Morin est prolifique

Après avoir écouter Galaxy Outlaws, quel bonheur de réaliser que ce prequel existe. Très contente aussi de les avoir écoutés un après l'autre. Humour et émotions au rendez-vous. Morin/Naramore, quel duo ! J'aime les personnages hauts en couleur, mais aussi tout en nuances. Je suis servie et quelle interprétation de M. Naramore, qui les fait tous vivre avec brio. Hommes, femmes, enfants, et Xenos, je suis facinnée de voir à quel point il sait rendre chaque personnage aussi crédible.

Great Prequel or Stand Alone

As an avid listener and reader of the Black Ocean Galaxy series' I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the Ramsay's grow up through these books. With lots of fun and funny adventures, the serious bits of life that go along with any family and the wild criminal bent belonging to a rogue wizard this is light listening, but well worth the credit!!
