An innocent man’s life is on the line, but without her magic to protect them all, Esper may have taken on more than she can handle.

**** SPOILER ALERT ****
“The Sunshine Of Your Cult ( Black Ocean ): Mercy For Hire Mission 5” to me, is the most fun to read of the series. So far, anyway!.
Morin does his usual superlative world building and character development. There’s plenty of action in this entertaining page turner as Esper, Tiffany and Kubu team up with a holovid star to find his co-star. I highly recommend not just this book, but the whole series that it belongs to.
Q: Can Esper rescue Tiffany in the “nick of time” without her magic?
A: Grab this book, read it, and find out for yourself!
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.
In the fifth book of the Mercy for Hire series, Esper, Kubu and Tiffany are on a mission to find a missing holovid costar, but they’ve been hired as side-kicks, with the leader Wesley Wesley behaving like they’re in a holovid and he’s the action hero. The investigation leads them to the Cult of Ra, which follows Egyptian beliefs and is based out of a lunar theme park with an Egyptian theme. Of course all kinds of humorous, strange and dangerous events occur, and without magic, Esper is at a loss as to how she is going to accomplish what she’s always done so easily. With help from the overzealous action star and the lovable Kubu, Esper will just have to wing it and hope she can keep Tiffany and Kubu safe, as well as locate the missing costar. Of course I’m looking forward to the next story, since it sounds like there’s more Cult of Ra adventures to come.
Ok, take one totally deranged universe with magic and super-tech, add a defanged (as in magic-neutralized) super mercenary (hi Esper), her sorta dog who is not even remotely a dog (hi Kubu) and her virtual daughter who is potentially really powerful (hi Tiffany). Add on a job working for an actor on a life-endangering job they got through an advert and that they only got ‘cause the the girl wanted it as a birthday present and that there’s a pretty culty nutty galaxy- spanning group for your enemy … whew I’m out of sorts just trying to get this far in describing J.S. Morin’s fantastic Sunshine of Your Cult (Black Ocean: Mercy for Hire Book 5). Let’s just leave it that the result of all this is one heck of a fantastic novel with the superb galaxy-building, fantastic characters (lead and supporting, good and bad guy) and superior writing that fans of this series have come to expect. A total blast that we addicts … err, fans… have come to expect. (For newcomers this book can be read stand-alone, but trust me that you’ll thank me if you go back and start at the series’ first book. 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. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
