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.

Amazing value and a great read.

Only gave it 4 stars because I preferred Mercy for Hire and Galaxy Outlaws which I both rate 5/5!!

Consistently engaging

just start at the beginning of the series and work your way chronological forward. The best narrative and performance on any audible book

Very enjoyable!

The narration is superb. The storyline and characters aren't as enjoyable as Galaxy Outlaws (IMO), although the story is set in the same 'universe' with some nice crossovers. An epic tale that mixes scifi and fantasy really well. A pleasure to listen to.

Phenomenal!!

Incredible story telling. Not just great value but brilliant SciFi full stop. I'm an avid reader of the genre and originally started listening to the Black Ocean series just as something light to listen to while i work that represented good value for my Audible credit. But it is so.much better than that! It consistently delivers and the scope of the Astral Prime series really blows my mind. Looking forward to meeting Esper and Kubu again in Mercy for Hire, but i will miss these characters greatly Even Kane....
