Characters are great, story is disjointed and chaotic, but never loses the fun. Having already listened to Mercy for Hire before this, I know it only gets better from here.

Not Engaged with the Characters
Review from Black Ocean →
I have read/listened to two other complete collections of J.S. Morin, so I was aware of the writing style and some of the characters.

Wonderful character development and feel good adventures.

This is some fun, easy listening if you like adventure and characters that can become your friends. Well written and wonderfully narrated. The storyline is pretty good, but leaves potential depth unexplored to make well rounded, quick endings to some of the adventures. But still, I loved listening to it.

Various plots around key players. Good twists for your entertainment. Enjoyable listen. Recommend it highly

great work by narrator.

Loved all books in the whole black ocean series. Solid part of my life for months.
Humans have been extinct for a thousand years. Before all was gone, there were 27 scientists who had their brains scanned into a robot. Thru those 27, they made thousands more, mixing parts of some to create new. Some robots are trying to bring back humans thru science. They have succeeded in some cases, but..
