“We’re going to find someone with a nice ship. Someone who doesn’t deserve one. And we’re going to steal it.”Esper made that promise. Now it’s time to make good. The Cult of Ra has a flagship, and thanks to a turncoat in their ranks, Esper and her friends know where it’s going to be. Better yet, they know that Pharaoh Ramesses XIII will be aboard. It’s time to cut the head off the cult.One … head off the cult.
One problem…
The cult knows they’re coming.
Two problems, actually…
The Poet Fleet knows where they are, too, and have sent a team to make Esper pay for humiliating their admiral.
What comes next is a battle of trap and counter-trap, deception and betrayal. Who is worthy of trust? Redemption? And will our heroes be able to win the day without crossing the gooey red line into villainy themselves?
It’s a thrilling showdown between the forces of evil and the forces of fed up with evil.
Eye of the Pharaoh is the eighth 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.

**** SPOILER ALERT ****
“Eye Of The Pharaoh: Mission 8 ( Black Ocean: Mercy For Hire ):” is a wild, fun roller coaster of a tale.
Cults, and Pirates, And Wizards OH MYYYY!! In this latest mission Morin continues their superlative world building and character development as Esper and krew embark on the mission to put down the cult of Ra. We get to see Ilsa, Tiffany, and Wesley each strut their stuff.
I highly recommend this entertaining page turner of a book.
Q: Who will take down Ramses XIII?
Q: How will Esper evade capture by the Fleet Of Poets ops team?
A: Grab this book, read it and enjoy Morin’s answers!!
In the interest of transparency: I was given a review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review.
It is my own honest opinion.
Eye of the Pharaoh is the eighth adventure for Esper and crew. They’ve determined that the Cult of Ra has a flagship and Pharaoh Ramesses XIII will be on it, so they’re taking the fight to him, to put an end to the cult once and for all. Unfortunately, the cult knows about their plans and so does the Poet Fleet, whose admiral is after Esper too. Leaving Ilsa and Kubu behind in relative safety, Esper, Tiffany and Wesley head off to take out the pharaoh. In the meantime, Ilsa and Kubu do not stay put, and danger finds them. All these strings will pull together to weave an exciting and fun resolution to the Cult of Ra story. Esper had put together a great crew and I think Ilsa is a great addition, I like that she adds her techie expertise to the group. I love this series and look forward to seeing what trouble Esper and crew will get up to next.
“[A] thrilling showdown between the forces of evil and the forces of fed up with evil.” That’s it, right there, the essence of the snarky bit wonderful character at the heart of J.S. Morin’s wonderful Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire series. I totally adore Mercy and her gang of amazing misfit mercenaries. Over the course of seven books they’ve gone through truly crazy, but wonderful, adventures and developed in ways often unforeseen but always great. Now things are coming to a head (again) in Eye of the Pharaoh: Mission 8. Read the publisher’s blurb. It tells you what you need. The only thing it doesn’t do well enough is tell you how exciting and utterly fantastic this story is. For newcomers, you can sorta start here, though it’s best to start with Mission 1 in the Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire series (even better to start with the “parent” Black Ocean series, though the Mercy books do stand up perfectly by themselves). For fellow avid followers? This is just the book you wanted, and needed. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.
