Salvage Trouble

Black Ocean: Galaxy Outlaws Mission 1

De: J.S. Morin

Narrado por: Mikael Naramore

Re-recorded with all new opening scene to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Black Ocean in audio.

The escape pods are long gone.

A distress beacon is still active.

Chase off the pirates and the wreck is all theirs. What was a crime scene moments before just became legitimate salvage, fair game for an opportunistic starship captain.

Carl Ramsey is that opportunist.

His crew of misfits includes his ex-wife as pilot, a drunken mechanic, a predatory bodyguard, and an outcast wizard from the Convocation. On their best days, they’re a well-oiled machine, capable of taking on any challenge.

In theory.

If that ever happened, Carl would be as shocked as anyone.

In the meantime, they're a crew in need of terras, and the galaxy doesn't give those out for free. Jobs come and go, but the cost of fuel is always chasing a ship like its own ion trail. A good captain just keeps his crew from killing one another, getting dusted by pirates, and earning however they can. Nobody pays for easy work, and every job comes with its own surprises—never the good kind.

Welcome to life out in the Black Ocean.

...where you can’t always get what you want. But if you try, sometimes...

You’ll get what you need.

Salvage Trouble is the first mission of Black Ocean: Galaxy Outlaws, a space fantasy series set in the 26th century. Did you wish for a second season of Firefly? Do you love the irreverent fun of Guardians of the Galaxy? Have you ever wondered how Star Wars would have turned out if Luke and Obi-wan had ditched the rebellion to become smugglers with Han and Chewie? Then Galaxy Outlaws is the series for you!

Pick up your copy of Salvage Trouble, and aim to misbehave with the crew of the Mobius.

NOTE: Salvage Trouble was formerly titled A Pilot's Pilot, so you'll see reviews with both titles. The story is the same!

okay

It's okay, but it never really caught my attention. The book seems to short and repetitive.

Firefly meets various alien races

If you are a fan of firefly you will find this very entertaining. Space ships, alien races, mercenaries, smugglers, Wizards, tech and more all rolled together for a fun and amusing romp through the Galaxy. Keeps you wanting more. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookblast in exchange for an unbiased review

Ok story

characters are ok need to flesh them out more. if it had gone any longer I would not have finished it

Good storyline

Good story but over priced for the audio companion at over $7 for a 4 hour story. I will not buy anymore until the price is dropped.

Very enjoyable space story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I felt it was a bit slow, but became addicting quickly after.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Salvage Trouble?

I enjoyed the descriptions of the various crew members, and discover if the different species in the story.
