I’m glad to see more authors venturing in to the tabletop side of LitRPG. Nothing against video games, but I enjoy D&D like fantasy LitRPG. Dice rolls and Str, Dex, Wis, Int, Con, Cha style stat points. Probably don’t need to read the character sheet as often as they do. Thoroughly enjoyed the 4th wall..
Mech combat with an interesting story line. A few recognizable mechs from the old popular mech series. Deals a fair amount with squad tactics. Story develops decently, narration is remarkable. Definitely worth one credit for the 3 audiobook set. If battletech were just a video game that you could “live” in.
Review from Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions, 1-16.5 →
want another 80. hours! wonderfull stuff that helped me through so many traffic jams. thank you!
This particular story fell short of his usual standards. The injection of current political themes was like a cudgel and was frustratingly distracting.

absolutely anything this writer and this narrator release is pure gold. Jeff writes interesting believably characters that get the reader invested, and Michael brings those characters’ voices to life by making each character sound unique and memorable. If you haven’t started with Black Ocean: Galaxy Outlaws, though. go pick that up first.
While book one had a bit slow start – for me – to get to like the characters, once you are on book #2, there are no such issues. The characters are great, and the story interesting. I really try to not reveal anything of the story, but let’s just say that the humor of..
I recommend to most readers to read at least some of the older Black Ocean books so that they have a knowledge of the various characters and players. Now the book starts a bit slow, and I would say it’s about 1/3 to 1/2 in that I really started to care for the two main..
