About this ebook

A friend in greed is a friend indeed.

Comedy doesn't pay. Some might claim that's the wrong cliché, but Chuck Ramsey knows the truth of it all too well. That's why he resorts to crime to pay the bills. His latest scheme isn't to pick up odd, questionably legal jobs near his gigs; this time he's found the perfect opportunity, and he's willing to buy a gig to be in the right place at the right time. All he has to do is get a certain wizard to play his part without knowing it.

Meanwhile, the colony Chuck chose is a real dump, an old asteroid mine turned barely-viable colony. And there's not much for kids to do there. At least, nothing that ticks all the boxes of safe, legal, and interesting enough to keep their attention. We already knew the Ramsey scheming gene had passed to the next generation, but the oldest isn't the only kid getting ideas outside the law.

Live and Let Kill is the ninth mission of Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem. It follows a mismatched duo of itinerant comedian and outlaw wizard as they roam the galaxy trying to eke out a living and stay ahead of the consequences of their actions. Black Ocean: Mirth & Mayhem looks back at an earlier era in the Black Ocean universe, and returning readers will get to see how some of their favorite characters came to be. Fans of morally gray heroes and slick talking conmen will love this series.

The stories in Mirth and Mayhem make the Astral Prime series seem down right cheery. What a disfunctional mess that family is. At least this explains why the various characters turned out the way they did. A good (but depressing read). I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

As the title suggests, Dark Ocean #9 takes a bit of a dark turn….but not the way the title suggests! Let me explain. Without reading all that carefully between the lines, we get a fresh glimpse of Chuck and Becky’s parenting skills…and while we knew all along they weren’t all that great, here we see the extent of Becky’s self-indulgence and self-centeredness. Maybe it’s just me, but I found the story more revealing. Maybe because it lacks a lot of the previous snarkiness of the Dark Ocean searie
