This is a solid read. It entertained me in the background as an audiobook accompaniment through life for a few weeks. Three stars doesn't seem quite enough, but four stars seems a little overblown. Some stories were better than others. But throughout the 80+ hours of reading/listening, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and never grew bored. That is what I wanted of this omnibus, and that is what it delivered.

Carl and his crew, including a couple of xenos, a magician, and his ex-wife, are definitely outlaws. Especially Mort. Oh my, what an anti-hero he turned out to be. But they are lovable and funny, somewhat rag-tag, and always offering a new adventure.

There is no regret in devoting 80 hours to this book. I'd recommend it to any sci-fi/fantasy reader, or fan of the Firefly series, who is between other books and looking for something lightweight and fun to pass the time.

Anyone that loved Farscape, or Firefly will fall head over heels for this rag tag group of misfits.

I'm sure I would have liked the Black Ocean series if I had read it like I normally do, but listening to it performed by Mikael Naramore made me fall in love with it. It doesn't really feel like Firefly to me, but that's OK because I think I actually like it better. It's definitely worth picking up if it sounds even vaguely interesting to you and I absolutely recommend the audiobook.

As a fan of Firefly I found this massive audiobook (80+ hours) to be simply awesome and highly recommend you give it a listen, especially if you enjoyed Firefly. That being said, it only has the same “feels” as Firefly but it isn’t a Firefly-related story. All my sci-go/fantasy friends grab yourself this audiobook and sit back and enjoy the story and it’s narration. I miss it already.
