Summary

Better a lifetime on the edge of disaster than an honest day's work.

Chuck Ramsey is a traveling con man fronting as a comedian. After a gig on Earth, he picks Mordecai The Brown, a hitchhiking wizard on the run from his own kind. Chuck's ship, the Radio City, is a Winnebego of the stars, serving as both home and transport as he schemes and scams across the galaxy with his family. The pair form an unlikely bond, and "Mort" becomes a part of that family. The Ramseys, wizard in tow, embark on a journey of criminal hijinks, magical mayhem, and evasion of consequences for both.

They cross paths with wizard-hunters and smuggling kingpins, sheriffs from backwater border planets and underworld syndicates. Between Chuck's silver tongue and Mort's mystical mastery, they manage to get in and out of trouble on planets large and small. Money comes and goes, with the biggest score always the one yet to come. Danger sniffs at their trail wherever they go, but somehow, they find a way to keep going.

Chuck and Mort make many friends in their travels.

They make even more enemies.

And along the way, the two of them inadvertently help raise a boy to become one of the galaxy's unsung heroes.

Mirth & Mayhem is the full book collection of all 16 missions chronicling the adventures of the starship Radio City and the Ramsey family's adventures with houseguest/refugee Mort, along with six short stories.

The series 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.

Fun meanderings but no destination

I really don’t know how to review this title! I’m enjoying it, but more for the fun narration of some amusing characters than anything. The issue is that there’s no coherent story, certainly nothing on the larger scale.

This set of books rambles from one mini story line to another (and I’m 40 hours out of 90 in at this point!). It does a great job of getting me to sleep at night and it’s fun enough that I will always rewind to make sure I’ve not missed anything, but the lack of direction of any identifiable kind bemuses me.

I’ll keep going, it’s still blooming good value - 90 hours for one credit - and hope that they get a story going! If so, it would be an overall 5/5!

Fantastic series of books

laugh out loud funny with enough gravitas to keep you wondering what's going to happen next.

Great space saga...👍🏻😁

Tongue lolling, epic with a mixture of Tech and Wizardry in the 26th century, expertly narrated...

Brilliant

J. S. Morin is back in the game. I was worried that Mirth and Mayhem will be lacking like Mercy for Hire and Astral Prime, but I was wrong. This collection goes back to level of Galaxy Outlaws, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Great stories, great narration.

Another outstanding adventure.

Great as always! I recommend the full mission pack. Having them back to back, seems to add a little something to the adventure.

Absolutely Amazing Stories!

It is so amazing to hear the familiar characters return as their younger selves. Love the way this story really comes full circle like the true Mobius loop arriving back where it all started!
