KR | 24 comments It would be great if someone could create a series page for J.S. Morin's Black Ocean series. I've included some links to new covers for the Kindle editions of various books (new covers associated with the old AISN's, not new editions with new AISN's) just because it was handy for me to do so here while I was accessing links, but if I should submit those later in the "Book Cover Help" board I can certainly do so if you let me know it's necessary.

SERIES DESCRIPTION from author's site:
Science to build a starship. Wizardry to take it past light speed. A crew to give it a soul.

In the year 2254 gravity was officially declared to be magic; the scientists gave up trying to figure it out and handed it over to the wizards. Without the inherent respect for the laws of physics, the wizards poked and prodded at gravity, poring over all that science knew about the attraction of one object to the next, and dismissing it as poppycock. They discovered ways around the tired old limits, and gave birth to the first true starships. Some enlightened journalist, covering the maiden voyage of the Impossible, noted that the ship was shaped like a hand giving the middle finger to science.

The dreams of children came alive, and humanity expanded into the cosmos, unlocking the secrets of the galaxy.

Who could have foreseen that three hundred years later, a down-on-his-luck captain would be answering distress calls, hoping to arrive in time to get first pick of the salvage....


BOOK/MISSION 0.5: Tech, Lies & Wizardry
A new cover for the Kindle edition (AISN B00QN8SK9Q) can be found at https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c...
While the title field at Goodreads refers to this as "Book 0," both the old and new covers indicate "Mission 0.5."

BOOK/MISSION 1: Salvage Trouble (previously entitled A Pilot's Pilot)

BOOK/MISSION 2: A Smuggler's Conscience
New cover for AISN B00QLFKLOS at https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c...

BOOK/MISSION 3: Poets and Piracy
New cover for AISN B00TM8RSOM: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c...

BOOK/MISSION 4: To Err is Azrin
New cover for AISN B00VN94VAC: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.c...

MISSION 4.5: Guardian of the Plundered Tomes
FWIW, Goodreads already has a page for this short story, but I personally can't find it as a separate work, only as part of one of the "mission pack" omnibuses.

OMNIBUS OF BOOKS/MISSIONS 1-4.5: Mission Pack 1

BOOK/MISSION 5: Alien Racer

BOOK/MISSION 6: Retro Version

BOOK/MISSION 7: Siege of Mortania

BOOK/MISSION 8: Moon of Odysseus

MISSION 8.5: Pinball Wizardry
Again, Goodreads has a page for this short story, but I personally can't find it as a separate work, only as part of one of the "mission pack" omnibuses.

OMNIBUS OF BOOKS/MISSIONS 5-8.5: Mission Pack 2

BOOK/MISSION 9: Adventure Capital

BOOK/MISSION 10: Collusion Course


There are a couple of new books to be added into the series (another larger omnibus [which for some reason Amazon.com doesn't have but other book sites do] and the Mission 11 book), but I figured the above was enough for now, and I'll submit the information for the two new works later in the "Adding New Books" discussion board unless someone might prefer to have the info in this thread instead for while the series is "under construction," so to speak.

TIA, K

Dobby (dobby0390) | 7870 comments This is partially done:

»  I added the series here.

»  Regarding the 2 shorts, #4.5 (Guardian) and #8.5 (Pinball): I combined these with their respective omni editions and requested that they be merged into those editions.

»  Regarding the alternate covers: those still need to be created. Please note that we much prefer that the link to the full page instead of just the image so we can be sure we are working on the correct edition.

»  Regarding missing editions: the following titles have editions that are not yet in the Goodreads catalog but are available on Amazon. I suggest posting an "Add Book" request for each title, separately, providing the full Amazon links. That breaks a large task into manageable portions. If you do that, let me know in this thread and I'll strike through each book that you've listed:
