Publisher's Summary

The galaxy’s worst bounty hunter just might be its most relentless hero.

Esper Richelieu is a wizard with a mission: To make the galaxy a better place one lost soul at a time.

Donning the trappings of an interstellar bounty hunter, she delves into the galaxy’s underworld to search out those most in need of help. Whether it’s a teenage runaway or an actor kidnapped by cultists, the victim comes first.

Money is an afterthought. That confuses a lot of clients.

But sometimes the best way to get someone to accept the help they need is to convince them to pay for it. Other times, clients unwittingly fund their own reparations by hiring the last person who’d want to aid them in continuing their wicked ends.

But are pure intentions enough against the vilest forces in the galaxy?

If you liked Galaxy Outlaws...

You're going to love this!

Lots of new and old characters alike, with one of the new characters being my all time favourite of the series.
The pace and escalation of events flow more similar to Galaxy Outlaws than Astra Prime, which I was happy about.

Morin and Naramore delivering again

I found this one a little harder to get into initially than the original Black Ocean series or Astral Prime, but the addition of Wesley Wesley and Tiffany added the required dynamism. Sort of a Scooby Doo gang vibe to the mix of characters. Thoroughly enjoying so far. Narration is excellent, the stories are lighthearted but satisfying. And 60+ hours of it for a single credit feels somehow like I'm robbing someone. Total bargain for what you get.

Did I mention that Naramore's narration is superb? Because it is.

Once I finish the last few stories, I'll have read ~180 hours of J.S Morin. That's 7.5 days of whacky adventures and I have absolutely no regrets.

Read and enjoy!

Not as good as mobius adventures but still good

Esper gets a bit tedious in large doses but still great, needed to take a break between mission around the middle section

Brilliant

Just like the others, this was an amazing series. I'd say the first 2 collections were better but only by a little.

Starts good, but….

Starts off good, but in the last 10-15 hours it’s like a slow painful death.

Narrator performance spot-on as always

Not my favourite

Mission 12.5 was the only reason I kept this book but it's a good reason!

Story line promising, but....

The story has a lot going for it. But the guy reading it.... My God. It sounds like an infomercial. Wayyy to stiff and official.
