About the author
J.S. Morin
193 books615 followersI am a creator of worlds and a destroyer of words. As a fantasy writer, my works range from traditional epics to futuristic fantasy with starships. I have worked as an unpaid Little League pitcher, a cashier, a student library aide, a factory grunt, a cubicle drone, and an engineer--there is some overlap in the last two.
Through it all, though, I was always a storyteller. Eventually I started writing books based on the stray stories in my head, and people kept telling me to write more of them. Now, that's all I do for a living.
I enjoy strategy, worldbuilding, and the fantasy author's privilege to make up words. I am a gamer, a joker, and a thinker of sideways thoughts. But I don't dance, can't sing, and my best artistic efforts fall short of your average notebook doodle. When you read my books, you are seeing me at my best.
My ultimate goal is to be both clever and right at the same time. I have it on good authority that I have yet to achieve it.

Mission Pack 4 collects 13 to 16 with the bonus 16.5, and is potentially the final set of Missions in the Black Ocean Universe according to Morin. He has hinted that there might be spin of series in the future, or he might possibly dip his toe back in down the track, but regardless, these final 4 Missions see the crew taking a bit of a turn in how they see life, but it certainly doesn't make the missions any less interesting, or less fun. Following are individual reviews for each of the Missions for those that are interested, otherwise - Enjoy!!;
Mission 13
Carl has had a change of heart recently, deciding that maybe he and the Mobius crew should re-think their lives and start to do things a little cleaner, with less crime. So when someone, a thug that Carl doesn’t know, contacts him with a job to steal a priceless religious artefact from a race of peaceful otter like creatures, Carl says No, surprising the entire crew. However, Roddy, and others, have an idea, why not turn the tide, and get the bad guys, stop the theft, and maybe even take the half the money that was put on the table to get the job done as a down payment. Of course, this is Carl, so nothing will go wrong….
What follows is utter chaos, as Carl and the crew try to prevent something that has already happened, have no idea what they are doing, and in the end, although they manage to get the priceless artefact, what they don’t realise is that they have dropped someone, a very dear friend to someone on the crew, into very deep hot water, and they will most likely end up boiled.
This is hilarious, as the crew, trying to do the right thing for once, end up doing a bunch of things wrong, and making life hard for multiple friends.
This is so much like a Serenity mission, or you can hear Han Solo yelling ‘It’s not my fault’, that it really fills the gaps left by the end of Firefly, only better (Where else are you going to get a starship powered by a grumpy wizard with a wooden staff?)
This is a newer evolution of Missions, no Tanny or Mrly, Amy as the Pilot, and Rai Kub onboard as Security. A Stuunji pacifist as a Security officer is somewhat hilarious as well. But it also works with Carl’s new attitude, as the Stuunji is a constant chatter in his ear about what is right. Of course, there is the obvious devil in his ear as well (Roddy), telling him what other things he could be doing, making it a lot of fun.
Although this episode is a change of perceptions for the crew, trying to do the right thing, the same crazy things happen.
One of the really great things in this particular book as well is the growth in some of the characters, particularly Esper. Her growth over the last couple of books has been incredible, but in this book, it reaches new levels.
Overall, I found this to be one of the best of the series so far, just for the change in the characters, the growth, and the way that Morin has evolved the crew after 13 books. Well worth the read.
Mission 14
In the 14th story, we run into Cedric again. Esper receives an emergency call, he is in trouble and needs help desperately. Whilst a few of the crew (some of the newer members), have reservations), most of the crew, including Carl and Esper, have no problems with dropping everything and going after Mort’s kid to help him.
When they find him though, things just go from bad to worse, Cedric has gone into hiding, and when they find him, they also find to Convocation Wizards who stupidly try and take Cedric, who has other ideas.
In the middle of all of this magic, the poor mining station that they are on, where they have gone to find and rescue Cedric, is suddenly unbalanced in the finer balances of physical forces of the universe. When all that Sciency wizmagig stuff stops working, Station YF-77 suddenly finds itself with a minor issue, that it is out of stable orbit with the planet it is meant to be orbiting, and is now falling to certain doom.
Of course, this leaves the crew in a bit of a predicament, do they save themselves, they know how to fix the Mobius and flee, or given that it was Cedric that caused it, do they stay and try to help.
When they decide to stay and help, things become critical as the crew is in a desperate race against time to save thousands of lives, including their own. And this time, they don’t have Mort to help them.
Again, this is a change in the story arc’s we have seen from the initial series, with the crew having matured somewhat, and also now having different agenda’s (with partners, thinking of kids and settling down), making them more altruistic. Morin has really allowed his characters to grow, and it is the depth in the characters, the maturity that has really given the story an extra edge.
Whilst the stories are still the same consistent brilliance that we always expect from Morin, the shift in crew roster, as well as the sense of responsibility and the experience that the crew has now gained from their time in the Black Ocean has really allowed for a new path for the series and one that is being done exceptionally well by Morin.
As always, these stories are just too much fun, and once you pick them up, they are hard to put down (you know how it is, 1am in the morning, have to be up at 6am, but ok, just one more chapter, have to find out what is going to happen to Esper, or Rai Kub, or Carl, will Roddy fix it? There are a lot of good Sci-Fi stories out there at the moment, but there is nothing as good as Black Ocean, this just covers all the bases.
Mission 15
Rai Kub gets an emergency call that the Stuunji homeworld has been conquered by pirates. Carl (being the Saviour he is), can’t help but come to the rescue of the poor Stuunji when he realises that the situation is partly of his own making. The Pirates have moved from their previous homeworld as Tanny and her crew kicked them off, as Tanny needed a new base of operations after a fallout with her father and the Rucker Syndicate.
Although there are multiple different things that go on to try and sort the situation out through more ‘Political’ and ‘Social’ means, in the end, Carl comes up with a crazy scheme of a poker game with 3 players, he, a representative of Tanny’s Syndicate, and someone for the Pirate Syndicate. Carl throws in Ithika, not telling anyone that the planet doesn’t really belong to him, and what follows is a card game basically for what is now the Stuunji homeworld, theirs having been lost a while ago.
With a machine that can detect Magic, Tanny using her Wizard to play, and side deals of all sorts going on, not to mention the threats of what might happen if people do actually lose, or even win, this is one poker game that can only be called ‘High Stakes’.
This is another one of those brilliant stories that Morin does so well that remind you of a 1950’s gangster movie, being remade in space, with a clown in charge of the operation. Of course Carl has the added ability to change personalities so fast he can be a dozen different people before you have finished blinking to make sure he has picked the right persona to fit the situation and make himself comfortable, so he is the perfect conman for any situation. And when you have a planet full of a few thousand Stuunji, looking up to you as their only hope, this is the one time that being the perfect conman might be a good thing.
This story is fantastic and is Carl at his absolute best. I think this was an opportunity to really unleash the full potential of his capabilities before we get to the last story, and Morin wanted to have a bit of fun with it.
Great read as always in the Black Ocean.
There are some other great parts in this book (without giving too much away), Esper again gets a bit more character development, but in a different direction which has its moments. But one of the funniest parts of this book is Tanny, and her interaction with Carl, her own Syndicate, and other people, especially as the gambling starts. There parts I had to stop reading I was laughing so hard.
As always, Morin does a brilliant job with his Characters, they continue to develop in this story, and as they grow, we grow with them, we get attached to them, especially Kubu, have to love Kubu!
Mission 16
I think when J.S. Morin wrote this, he had in mind that it was going to be the finale of the series. This story really tries to cover all of the different ‘main’ characters that we have encountered in our travels recently and give then an end story as such. With such an amazing and epic series as Black Ocean, this is something that is incredibly difficult to do in a manner that really wraps up the series, leaving the readers satisfied, but also leaves it open in case the writer wants to come and play with the series again in the future, or do a spin-off series.
In the case of Black Ocean – Morin (as you would expect from someone of his skill), does it perfectly.
I really don’t want to go into the story too much, I don’t want to give away spoilers as this is one of those superbly written endings to a series that you just don’t want to miss out on.
As the synopsis says, Carl and Amy are expecting, and Amy wants to have a wedding before the baby comes, as she puts it, a traditional ‘Shotgun’ wedding, but she wants to wear white. The only catch, she wants the wedding to be on Earth so her Mum, who is terribly ill, can be there. Of course for a crew that is wanted in all sorts of ways, with an illegal A.I. and a Wizard that on the Convocation’s hit list, this is like their most dangerous plan ever.
Of course, Carl being Carl, he has the most ‘Carl’ plan ever to pull it off.
The resultant outcomes are worth reading this particular book all on its own, even if you haven’t read any of the others, of course, you won't have a clue what is happening with half of it, but the story that unfolds is just so good it is worth it. It makes the Oceans 11 Movie series look like bad child’s play in comparison, there are so many moving parts, twists and turns, there is more action in this one story than in many other series combined.
And everybody gets a cameo – this is the who’s who of Black Ocean. If they ever turn this into a TV series, they will have to make sure to film this episode piece by piece with each of the actors, to make sure that they get them all from the start of the series to the end.
This is easily one of the best in the series, giving us the closure we needed after such an exceptional set of books, and allowing us to walk away satisfied with the lives and outcomes of each of the Major and Minor Characters of the series. What is better is that Morin has done it so well that he has allowed for the odd little peek back into the Black Ocean universe if so desired, and he has already hinted at a spin-off series.
This has been compared to Serenity/Firefly, The Orville, Guardians of the Galaxy, and they are all exceptional comparisons, with the Humour, the great Sci-Fi, the Tech, but Black Ocean has a unique quality there is something special about the Magical Element, Mort and Esper, that make this a stand-out (Even though I am a massive fan of Firefly & Guardians and Orville is growing on me). If you love those others, make sure you get a copy of this, either the books, or the audiobooks (which are brilliant) you won’t be disappointed!
Mission 16.5
This is an awesome short story, one of those stories that you kind of wish you had for pretty much every long running series you ever watched – what happens to the characters a few years down the track after we leave them? This short needs to be listened to (and this review read), only after you have finished all of the other Mission’s, otherwise you will really mess up the storyline for yourself and ruin the ending.
At the end of Mission 16, Carl had thrown the idea up of starting a band up, and touring around, and whilst there was some initial looks of confusion, people actually liked the idea, especially with various members of the crew going their own way and the Mobius becoming more of a ‘Family Friendly’ ship.
As such, we find the crew, several years on, happily doing gigs for meals and fuel, with lots of kids and couples aboard. The story takes us back to the restaurant and grill place that has the Typhoon 4 on 4 Simulation. Here, Carl manages to wrangle a deal for him and the crew, but he gets more than he bargained for when some old acquaintances stop by to teach him and his band how to fly.
This is just the perfect end to the Black Ocean series, allowing us to get a look at the characters and their futures, but also knowing that there is a chance that there could be more install for the crew possibly. Regardless, the story is a lot of fun, with all the expected hijinks and hilarity you have come to expect from Morin and the crew of the Mobius. Definitely one to read – but only after you have finished all the others!

As with the rest of the series this was a very enjoyable ride. It wound up The Black Ocean stories in a way that was quite satisfying. We got to learn more about the characters as we say goodbye to them at the end of the series.
April 12, 2019
Whoa... What a ride!
I'm sad to say goodbye to the crew of the Mobius, and I am happy that there are already two spin-off series (Astral Prime and Mercy For Hire), so that I don't feel quite so abandoned.
(Plus, I'm hoping for maybe a prequel series or something like that... :) )

As always a cracking set of stories.The only down side of buying a 4 book boxset is that I spend 4 times as long trying to fit it into my busy lifestyle!
