Shadow Planet: Mission 1: Black Ocean: Astral Prime

A space station at the edge of the galaxy just found a planet that's slipping off the edge entirely. 

After losing control of his magic, wizard Cedric the Brown blew up his boss and nearly crashed a space station into a planet. Determined to make amends, he pledges to help the mining station negotiate with the nearby planet's mysterious, magical inhabitants.  

With nothing but the bankrupt station as severance pay, Director Fujita Hiroko moves to the edge of the galaxy to keep the station afloat as an independent mining operation. When the nearby planet vanishes with her and her survey team still on the surface, hopes of mining are quickly replaced by a more pressing goal: finding a way back to her station.  

Shadow Planet is the first audiobook in the Black Ocean: Astral Prime series. It hearkens back to location-based space sci-fi classics like Babylon Five and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Astral Prime builds on the rich Black Ocean universe, introducing a colorful cast of characters for new and returning listeners alike. 

Come along for the ride as a minor outpost in the middle of nowhere becomes a key point of interstellar conflict.
