Publisher's summary

The galaxy’s worst bounty hunter just might be its most relentless hero.

Esper may dress the part. She has her own ship. She even carries a blaster - not that she ever uses it.

But she violates the cardinal rule of the galaxy’s most cold-blooded profession: get paid.

At least she's not alone. Her partner, Kubu, is an alien who gets mistaken for a dog.

One is a wizard on the run from her past. The other is a lovable eating machine. Between them, they haven’t got a ruthless bone in their bodies.

But when a client hires them, they’ll do whatever it takes to bring a target home safely.

This time, it’s a teenage kidnapping victim, and Esper and Kubu will crisscross the galaxy to track her down and make sure she’s safe.

Wayward Saint is the first mission of Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire. It follows the exploits of a pair of do-gooder bounty hunters who care more about saving the day than getting a payday. Mercy for Hire builds on the rich Black Ocean universe and introduces a colorful cast for new and returning listeners alike. Fans of vigilante justice and heroes who exemplify the word will love this series.

intelligent, humorous.

Narrator has broad vocal range and soothing tones. Each character has unique personality enhanced by inflection and easily distinguished voices. The narrator's rhythm and pacing keep you hooked, but don't key you up. I listened to this book more times than I can count.

Enchanting

Enjoyed the book. Well narrated. Interesting for a SiFi novel. I was looking for an Asimov book, but it was a good replacement.

Interesting characters. Good story. A witch with a conscience hired to find a runaway young girl who doesn’t want to be found.

Kubu is the star

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I like kubu my favorite character, the story was solid and you get a magic tutorial along the way. Narration was really good for this and the entire black ocean series.

A Space Adventure with Heart!

J.S. Morin's "Wayward Saint" takes listeners on a wild ride through the galaxy with Esper, the lovable, yet undeniably bad bounty hunter, and her partner Kubu, the furry alien who steals the show. Mikael Naramore's narration perfectly captures the spirit of the story, making it a joy to listen to. If you're looking for a space adventure filled with heart, humor, and a pair of heroes who will stop at nothing to do what's right, then Mercy for Hire: Wayward Saint is the perfect listen for you.

this was surprisingly fun

this was by no means great literature but it is fun. I have a few complaints here and there about Miner issues let me know the day do not take away from how much fun I had with this book it's a bit short and I hope that future installments are longer and that they improve on the pacing otherwise but worth it
