Publisher's summary

Sometimes, you want to go where nobody knows your name.

Space station Echo Niner remained neutral in the Earth/Mars civil war. For a pair of fugitives on the run from both sides, it sounded like the perfect place to regroup.

But Eric and Jessie Ramsey barely set foot aboard Echo Niner before getting embroiled in local disputes. Rival warlords divide the station into four zones, each under its own version of martial law. Separated by the teeming masses who call the station home, the siblings need to navigate the treacherous social landscape, discover allies, and reunite.

It doesn’t help that their cover gets blown.

Or that the Earth Navy blockaded the station.

Or that Eric appears to be the backup plan.

The galaxy has it in for the Ramseys, and even neutral territory offers no solace. With factions clawing and scratching just for the privilege of turning them over for a reward, there’s only one way Eric and Jessie are going to get out of this alive: together.

Terran Incognito is the second mission of Black Ocean: Passage of Time, a science fantasy series set in the late 26th century. What if Futurama jumped five years ahead instead of 1,000? What if Doc and Marty lost the car keys? What if Bonnie and Clyde were siblings instead of lovers? Passage of Time jolts the Black Ocean universe forward into new adventures and new perils with a new cast of zany misfits trying to outsmart the galaxy just to get by.

Strap in and hold on tight. Terran Incognito is the latest book in the Black Ocean universe, and it’s going to be an action-packed, mystery-filled, madcap ride across the galaxy!

The story gets better as it progresses

While book one had a bit slow start - for me - to get to like the characters, once you are on book #2, there are no such issues. The characters are great, and the story interesting. I really try to not reveal anything of the story, but let's just say that the humor of Black Ocean is still there in this new series, for instance around the main protagonist' choices of food and eating while in dire situations,

If you have bought the first book, don't hesitate and buy this one, it's better than the first one because now you know the characters. The old characters are also showing up more in this book, and the reader is left guessing (I don't think I will guess wrong, but next book(s) will tell) about a certain wizard on earth.

The narration is still top-notch. Mikael Naramore (whatever his real name is :-) ) is awesome and should continue to narrate all future Black Ocean books IMO.

Disclaimer: I used my own audible credits to buy the first 2 books of this series(like I did for all my books so far, and for all of J.S. Morin's books), before finding out that I do qualify for a free copy to leave an early review.
The only influence this future free credits have on my reviews is that I'm taking the time to leave the reviews, this does not impact my ratings.

well done

Amazing addition to the series I'm really looking forward to the next chapter in a couple weeks! Get a damn netflix series already!

another hit

absolutely anything this writer and this narrator release is pure gold.

Jeff writes interesting believably characters that get the reader invested, and Michael brings those characters' voices to life by making each character sound unique and memorable.

If you haven't started with Black Ocean: Galaxy Outlaws, though. go pick that up first.
