Publisher's summary

A station at the edge of the galaxy is about to become the center of the universe.

Cedric the Brown is a wizard with a dark past. In an effort to make amends, he hides in plain sight among the residents of a space station he once nearly destroyed. Cut adrift by a bankrupt megacorp, the mobile mining station sets off to uncharted space in a desperate attempt to scrape by.

What they stumbled onto would change the course of the galaxy.

A planet.

A lost alien race.

A secret that will lead to all-out war.

How will a station filled with scoundrels and crewed by former miners handle being the fulcrum of history?

Astral Prime is a collection of all 12 Black Ocean missions chronicling the adventures of a mining station on the edge of known space, along with five short stories. This series follows in the traditions of Deep Space Nine and Babylon 5 with high-stakes space station intrigue and epic discoveries.

not as good as the other Black Ocean series

Not as good as the other Black Ocean series books but still solid. More than worth the 1 credit it took to buy them all at once. There were a couple characters that just drove me nuts which is why I could not give it 5 stars. Other than that I loved learning about many of the other races and their interactions with Argo and the AP characters. The other did a very good job at hinting at some characters and their relations/historys with characters from the other Black Ocean novels without relying on them. Well done, solid series, and as always Micheal Naramore is perfection.

magnificent space opera

I have never read a series that made me so cheerful, or so gloomy. a true work of art. even if you didn't read galaxy outlaws, read this.

Sure wish I had the ear of the universe..

J.S. Morin comes thru.. I now even distrust this sciencey thingy I'm writing this review on.. My data pad and has trapped a wonderful voice inside of it who is forced to read aloud to me upon my whim.. says his name is Naramore. Blasted technologies have enslaved another one, not quite sure how he fits in this blasted contraption.

Fun and energetic.

I like the premise of these stories but this one had parts that were just very odd and not typical. I enjoyed Galaxy Outlaws far more.

I am super bummed that it is over!

I really enjoyed all of the missions. Such a treat getting to listen to them all at once and it was a really long listening experience I didn't even realize I was on the last one. Absolutely stunning narration and the story pulls you in so if you miss stuff you will want to rewind but overall just a great sci-fi audiobook experience.

Entertaining from start to finish.

J.S. Morin did it again. Couldn't stop listening. Love the characters, the plot, everything. Would recommend to anyone.

Great series at a great price

I love the black ocean series. I wasn't sure at first if i would love this as much as the first set but it really came through. And as always, excellent narration. I drive trucks for a living and i never have a hard time staying away with this. I feel like i am there in the story. It's so alive and I connect so well to the characters. On to mercy for hire next. Keep them coming. Thanks for all the happiness you bring to my life.

Love the Black Ocean!

Great continuation of the story line and characters I love from this series. So many familiar voices

Nearly as good as the original

Not quite as long or good as the original, but close! Likely I'll read this again.

Very entertaining

This is my least favourite of the three black ocean series so far. It has some parts that ramble too much and more violence then I prefer.
Overall, the story was very entertaining. Enough so for me to write my third review in 200 books I have listened to. I have also downloaded all of his other series.
