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?

excellent, world of Black Ocean is fun.

Mikael Naramore is an excellent reader for this space opera. It's easy to visualize each character. 'Mercy' is darker then 'Galaxy Outlaws'. Esper does a lot of growing and developing. I found myself angry w and encouraging Esper. Her adopted daughter frankly bugged me. Her character developement has me wondering if she'll become a villian in future books. I loved Wes. He added humor and serious elements to this series. The 'not a dog' is loveable as usual. I'm frankly glad that I discovered The Black Ocean world when each aspect was completed.

I Loved it

This isn't a work of art and the writing isn't perfect but it's just enough to make it good. There are multiple stories but each are hours long and satisfying. There isn't as much of a connection with the characters although as the book progresses this changes. Please note: you can't really skip a book because then you become lost so you may need to listen to all of it. Don't try and listen to all of it in a week because it is just to much. I recommend listening to murder bot, or a favorite well you wait to build up your tolerance.

Great continuation of the Black Ocean!

The Moebius crew were such an awesome bunch, and this book follows the path of one of the characters on a series of mercy missions. Great book and I was sad when it was over but happy to have enjoyed the experience.

Great series

Wonderful addition to Black Ocean. Gotta hope Morin will continue the story with some of the characters in another series. Loved the ending. Very Black Ocean. Always enjoy the extra stories too.

Fantastic addition

I love this series it's a great stand alone addition I just wish it had blended more in with the Astral prime books as they do happen along the same timeliness.

I need more!

80+ hours of really enjoyed story telling with...

... a lackluster ending. I still recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the other Black Ocean tales, but the last few missions kept me waiting for an interesting twist that never came. Also, there were parts of the book where it became hard to tell who was talking. Some of the female voices were very similar.
