Rescue Like a Hurricane: Mission 12

Black Ocean: Passage of Time

By: J.S. Morin

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

If you can't fight the good fight, what are you fighting for?

Though she's new to the resistance, Jessie Ramsey and the crew of the Arete are the spearhead of an assault that's been years in the making. They've uncovered the heart of a sinister alien conspiracy to hide the existence of ongoing human labor camps, and on a scale that's unlike anything any of the heroes have seen before.

They have a target.

They have a goal.

What they need is a plan, and that's a tall order when the idea is to rescue a small city's worth of captive laborers.

But like all good plans, this one comes together when someone unexpected suggests something unthinkable, and the impossible suddenly doesn't look so impossible anymore. The mission is on, and the stakes are too high to fail.

The Eyndar Empire isn't going to know what hit them!

Rescue Like a Hurricane is the twelfth mission of Black Ocean: Passage of Time, a science fantasy series set in the late 26th century. What if Futurama jumped 5 years ahead instead of 1000? 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. Passage of Time is the latest series in the Black Ocean universe, and it’s going to be an action-packed, mystery-filled, madcap ride across the galaxy!

As ever, my only complaint is these books are too short

When one of my friends put me onto this series (black ocean in general, not just passage of time) I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but have since shed my skepticism and have become quite an avid fan, having purchased every other collection after finishing the first one, and also picking up several of the other series just because I enjoy the writing style that much.

I think my only real complaint is that each individual installment is so short. I would love longer individual books in the stories. 5 to 8 hours for a book just doesn’t feel like it’s long enough for each installment. I would love for there to be more content in each book, the best part of the writing is the characters and I would love to have more time with each of the characters. This book kind of felt like some of the B cast took a backseat. Like Mindy got the nanobots, but we didn’t get any of her perspective as the nanobots began to enhance her and considering it seems like she’s going for a different modification than either Daphne or Jessie and it would have been nice to get more from her perspective. I understand that there was quite a lot to balance, and that really wasn’t the main plot of this particular book, the sub plot was kind of taken up by Carl the two wizards with him, but even they felt like they kinda took a backseat. I don’t know, this particular book feels like the odd one out in terms of the rest of the series. Like if every other book averages a nine, this was closer to like a 7 1/2. It’s not bad, it just feels not as good. It’s not gonna stop me from getting the next book when that releases.
