Meet the galaxy's unluckiest outlaws.

Carl Ramsey is an ex Earth Navy fighter pilot turned con man. His ship, Mobius, is home to a ragtag crew of misfits and refugees looking to score a big payday but more often just scratching to pay for fuel. The crew consists of his ex-wife (and pilot), a drunkard, four-handed mechanic, a xeno-predator with the disposition of a 120kg housecat, and the galaxy's most wanted wizard.

Along the way, the Mobius crew crosses paths with the Black Ocean's vilest scum, from pirate fleets to criminal syndicates, and most law-abiding scum, including Earth Interstellar Enhanced Investigative Organization, ARGO high command, and the Convocation of Wizards. Time and again, riches lie just out of reach, because for all the talents Carl Ramsey and his crew possess, they've also got an outlaw's greatest weakness: a conscience.

Galaxy Outlaws is a collection of all 16 Black Ocean missions chronicling the adventures of the starship Mobius and her crew, along with 6 short stories. This series is the perfect cure for the Firefly season two blues. It's what you'd get if the Orville took place on Serenity, or if Star Wars had wizards instead of Jedi.

Wowza. This is one huge book collection. 87 hours is three and a half days. That is like starting on Monday and finishing on Thursday with no breaks. That alone makes it worth the singular credit that you spend on this massive tome of excellence. Oh, did I say excellence? Yes, indeed I did.

Let me Start off with talking about Naramore's narration. I've gotten to know him pretty well from the Sensation series by Kevin Hardman. I have long respected his work, and to be frank he is the reason that I found this book. I was looking through other books he had narrated, and found this baby. I was interested when I saw it was a complete collection, then I read the description and thought, "Holy Crap, this is right up my alley!" Then I saw how frikkin long it was was and realize what a steal I'd be getting. I said, hmmm cool story, Naramore, and days worth of listening. So I couldn't pass this up. Naturally, Naramore lives up to my expectations. He brings each character to life from the wiseacre captain to the drunk mechanic. You will really get to know them by the end of this book. When they are gone you will wonder where your friends have gone, because you will have logged some serious time. Enough time that you will feel like an honorary member of the crew.

Now as for the story, Morin brings this to life to a point that you will feel like the crew and their exploits really happen in a galaxy far far away. Of course you'll feel that way when you see they have a space wizard. That not withstanding this has more of a Firefly feel to it than anything else, since they are smugglers but in the same breath I could call this the extended crew of the Millenium Falcon sans Han and Chewy. Every character is interesting, and has a great back story that comes out during the series.

I will say that the writing is great, and there is action aplenty, and many a close call for the crew to narrowly avoid (sometimes not so unscathed). The plots are fast paced, and riveting in that they will really hold your attention. My problem was I had to keep shutting down, and not wanting to do so. It was hard to find a break or lull that I could happily quit for the night and not wonder what was going to happen next.

This is a wonderful series, and it is well worth the single credit it takes to buy it. I can't stress how fun and exciting the series actually was for me. If you like sci-fi or have the smuggler's blues then this is the series for you. This is for fans of Firefly, Star Wars, Star Trek, and even BattleStar Galactica. You will not go wrong with this series. Don't miss out!!! Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

Firefly cranked up on Meth plus a Space Wizard!

Other reviews mentioned that this was somewhoat like the TV show "Firefly." "Okay, I liked that show . . . the home spun flavor of a cozy space craft crewed by a bunch of misfits - an old fashion western set in space." So if "Galaxy Oulaws" was like that, then I will probably enjoy it. But it was the whooping 85 hours of listening at the price of 1 credit that sold me. But other than the basic set up of a roaming space ship - this is not "Firefly" - this is much better. I could hardly "put this audio book down" so to speak. It is just nice to find something that is way more than I was hoping it would be. The characters are just great - fleshed out - so quirky and so funny. The word that just comes to mind when I think of this audiobook is Fun!.

It is a bit on the mature side with some swearing, some sex references, etc. Normally, I don't care for that in a book but here it is handled discreetly for laughs - I would call this a PG 13 book for the most part. And the narrator is real good Highly recommended.

What a great find!

First, a warning: this book features much sadness and violence inflicted on an alien dog. This almost made me stop listening multiple times. If you're very sensitive to such things, you may want to avoid this.

Now: others have compared these stories to Firefly, and very rightly so. I would add that they're also akin to Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories, or any such picaresque tales of swashbuckling adventure. This is something that's not uncommon in amateur fiction but sadly lacking in professional fiction, these days, and it's wonderful to have here.

The setting is sci fi, but with magic - treated as the ability to enforce one's will upon the universe, which is not an incompatible idea with science or science fiction. Though there is some additional weirdness beyond the existence of magic, which I shant spoil. If you like the idea of sci fi + wizards, I expect you'll like the other bits of oddness, and if you don't, you won't like these stories.

The characters are all very interesting and likeable. Their development is engaging. The mix of plot, sidetracking, downtime, and backstory exploration all conspire to make me strongly suspect that these stories come from the author's tabletop roleplaying game adventures. They feel very much like an RPG campaign. In a very good way.

The reader is perhaps the best part. He is excellent. His range is fantastically broad. He does female characters well - not trying to do a spot on female voice and failing, but to just communicate that it is a female character. His aliens are wonderful, and you can hear the simianity and felininity of the monkey-based and cat-based characters, as well as giant heaps of personality. Everyone sounds different, and his narrator voice. It is the best performance I've yet heard. By a lot.

And the value is amazing. It's 85 hours of quality. You will still want more.

Wonderful picaresque tales, read brilliantly.

The narrator and author delivers here a fun, irresponsible and sometimes rude adventure that could werry well have been a good tv show.

I was hooked from the begining to the end.
