About this listen
The galaxy’s worst bounty hunter just might be its most relentless hero.
Esper Richelieu is a wizard with a mission: To make the galaxy a better place one lost soul at a time.
Donning the trappings of an interstellar bounty hunter, she delves into the galaxy’s underworld to search out those most in need of help. Whether it’s a teenage runaway or an actor kidnapped by cultists, the victim comes first.
Money is an afterthought. That confuses a lot of clients.
But sometimes the best way to get someone to accept the help they need is to convince them to pay for it. Other times, clients unwittingly fund their own reparations by hiring the last person who’d want to aid them in continuing their wicked ends.
But are pure intentions enough against the vilest forces in the galaxy?

Story
Cast into a brutal military camp by his once loving master, Mateo feels like the last six wonderful years of his life have been a lie. With the mysteries surrounding him growing, Mateo knows that his only option is to become one of the supernaturally powerful Duelists and grow in power until he can take his fate into his own hands. That plan is thwarted from the beginning when he gets stuck with the lowest-ranked Root Card against his will, ensuring that his growth as a Duelist will always be excruciatingly slow.

Story
When there is a call, there is often a response. Najeeba knows. She has had The Call. But how can a 13-year-old girl have the Call? Only men and boys experience the annual call to the Salt Roads. What’s just happened to Najeeba has never happened in the history of her village. But it’s not a terrible thing, just strange. So when she leaves with her father and brothers to mine salt at the Dead Lake, there’s neither fanfare nor protest.

Story
Meet Laszlo, eight-hundred-year-old demon and Hell’s least productive Curse Keeper. From his office beneath Midtown, he oversees the Drakeford Curse, which involves a pathetic family upstate and a mysterious black monolith. It’s a sexy enough assignment—colonial origins, mutating victims, et cetera—but Laszlo has no interest in maximizing the curse’s potential; he’d rather sunbathe in Ibiza, quaff martinis, and hustle the hustlers on Manhattan’s subway.

Story
A gunslinger with four affinities is a myth. It's the kind of story whispered in frontier saloons one drink before closing and around campfires in the dead of night. For the heroes and villains in those tales, that impossible power is a boon, a gift. For Mr. Jones, it's a curse. Of course, that's not his real name. He's had many. Changing names is necessary when you possess a power that every lawman and outlaw would kill to obtain. To survive, you keep your head down, kill when you must, and never stay in one place too long.

Sci-fi, wizards and Crime. What could go wrong?
Esper went from my least favourite character in the black ocean Moebius Missions (listen to them, they're awesome) to the leader of her own scrappy gang of do-gooding criminals. Love the stories and Naramore's soothing, yet expressive, narration!

Very nice magician stories.
I really like the Galaxy outlaw series. When I saw this book series of Esper venturing out into her own. I kinda got a little excited and had high hopes. However though, It's not the same Esper as in the previous series. The author gave the lead character a huge "goody two shoes" morality boost. Although majority of the book is Esper being a goody goody two-shoe, the author does explore other avenues about her potential character flaws. So in general the book has its ups and downs and some sections just drags on for like ever, but overall I did enjoy it. Wesley Wesley and Kubo are my favorite. Potty mouth Tiffany not so much.
Mikael Naramore does an excellent job of reading the book, and if it wasn't for him I would probably given the overall book score one less star.
