Publisher's summary

He’s the elephant in the room that everyone is talking about.

Jessie and Eric Ramsey finally catch a break. The League of Independent Planets has granted them asylum and allowed them to live on the techno-paradise world of Phabian. Jessie gets a clerical job. Eric ends up working at a factory making magical construction materials. He might even have a girlfriend.

Of course, trouble always finds a Ramsey.

Eric’s inquisitor parole officers locate him despite having no official jurisdiction. Jessie gets recruited into Phabian’s ultra-secret counterintelligence agency, Section 74.

Yet somehow, everything revolves around a newcomer to this part of the galaxy. He’s three meters tall with a personality sized to match. His species evolved from elephants and lives on the other side of the galaxy. Ambassador of his species, this mighty explorer holds court on Phabian, the toast of the planet, and his even mightier ship waits in orbit, a mystery beyond known technology. He could be a great ally or a deadly enemy if he were to take sides in the Earth/Mars civil war.

That’s why Section 74 wants Jessie to assassinate him.

A good agent would put together a plan, befriend the ambassador, learn his habits, then betray him and frame someone for the job. A Ramsey, on the other hand, will get to know him and realize she likes him better than the assholes who want him dead.

Xeno's Paragon is the third 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!

Morin is a wizard

Every. Single. Book. continues to expand the Black Ocean universe and characters with new and entertaining.. everything. Even more importantly, (with extremely rare exceptions over 100's of hours) the universe and characters remain completely consistent and enveloping.

srsly. In a world full of derivative stories that are just barely more than retellings, the Black Ocean is as vast, unique, and real as they come.

As far as this Mission goes, the elephant in the room only makes everything that much better.

I live for new Black Ocean stories

It’s incredible how much I enjoy these.

I always think “oh no, he’s moved on from my favorite characters- I’ll never be as invested in these new ones” and then I fall in love all over again.

Another fantastic chapter. More great narration. Please keep them coming!
