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.

Another great success.

This rewrites my perspective on black ocean mobius in the greatest way. I love this universe.

91 hours of "worth the credit"

I have exhausted this universe, or so I thought. I thought I was burnt out after the mercy for hire missions. I didn't realize I needed the prequal but for sure, I did. Everything I loved about Galaxy Outlaws and all the books in the in the Black Ocean series, lives in this one. I love every second of it. Seeing the influences that formed "Brad" was awesome. Mort and his deadly arrogance. More of Chuck's sleaziness. It is all so good.

You can’t go wrong

You can’t go wrong with JS Morin books. Especially with Mikael Naramore reading it with such great character depth. It’s like a movie in your head.

Silly-funny Space Saga

This is was my third series in the Black Ocean. I found it enjoyable and fast moving with a good story and performance.
I prefer long audio books but off find them hit or miss. Have several unfinished long books in my library. Found this one to be a hit and hope you do too.
