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.

Great prequel tieing the characters back to their origin. You could almost start with this series

Good listen

I loved this story arc. So much character growth and development watching the Ramsay kids grow up. Definitely a great place to start your journey through the black ocean, but it also functions well as a prequel to the other books.

Another fantastic look at the life in the black ocean

The story was good and comical. Any story with wizards and space pirates is always cool.

Great prequel!

I have exhausted this universe, or so I thought. I thought I was burnt out after the mercy for hire missions. I didn't realize I needed the prequal but for sure, I did. Everything I loved about Galaxy Outlaws and all the books in the in the Black Ocean series, lives in this one. I love every second of it. Seeing the influences that formed "Brad" was awesome. Mort and his deadly arrogance. More of Chuck's sleaziness. It is all so good.

This rewrites my perspective on black ocean mobius in the greatest way. I love this universe.

Another great success.

Thoroughly entertaining adventures! Easily one of my favorite series and thankfully there are hours and hours of story that never derails from the storyline. I feel like dysfunctional family now has a new entry in dictionaries all over the galaxy! Well done!

Why is this not a TV series???

Adds a lot of backstory that I didn’t know was missing, frankly. If you liked the original books, you’ll like these, too.

Great addition to the series
