Planet Hustlers: 15 (Black Ocean) : Morin, J S: desertcart.in: Books Review: Carl Ramsey may be a cheat...and a thief...and, yes, a criminal (in some people's eyes!!!) but what he ISN'T is someone who would let down a friend when they need him. And that's the case in this latest adventure of the crew of the Mobius in the BLACK OCEAN. Old foes have taken the most precious thing in the universe from those who look upon Carl as their protector and savior and he must figure a way to get it back. And...if you've read ANY of the prior books in the series, you know that Carl doesn't do things in the conventional way. Soon, the biggest gamble of his and his crew's life is on the table and while the profit potential is through the roof, a mistake could cost everyone he loves...everything. Jeff Morin's is driving us toward the end of his BLACK OCEAN original series and, as the end draws near the stories become wilder and more wonderful. This was the seminal series that laid the foundation for the other spin-offs (Astral Prime and Mercy For Hire) and Morin continues to build on those as he adds new characters...new worlds...and new conflicts to his already existing universe. You can fall into the EXPANSE...Alastair Reynolds' Revelation Space keeps growing...BUT...Jeff Morin has created a truly wonderful and exciting adventure in the BLACK OCEAN... Review: If you are a Black Ocean fan, nothing more to be said. If not, find the first 14 books and have fun. This series is space opera with humor and a large dash of magic. Characters that left a couple books ago are coming back with a vengeance. Still more about Carl. Esper. Roddy, and a dead wizard who doesn't want to stay dead. The poet pirate fleet is back, too. The oddest pirates you will ever read about. Still Mr. Morin says this is the next to last Black Ocean. (Waaaaaaaaaa!) Maybe if we all can talk to other readers to buy this book, he might change his mind.(It work for Star Trek.)

Mayhem starts again. The crew of the Mobius takes on some pirates who are trying a starlane hustle on one of the planets Carl is (sort of) looking after.This guarantees that the pirates will lose, because Carl INVENTED the starlane hustle.Between beer, wizards, and sheer goofy fun, this is another gem in the Black Ocean series, that has one of the best comedy lines I've ever heard. "What makes you think you can't trust these people? They hired us didn't they?" Prepare to laugh- and laugh- and laugh---
