The Deep Black series is one of James David Victor’s longer-running works, following Captain Bayne through nine books of deep-space adventure. Starting with Parallax (2018), the series tracks Bayne as he takes on different roles, reflected in titles like Captain Bayne, Ranger Bayne, and Pirate Bayne.
The series moves through space exploration, encounters with void-dwelling threats, and run-ins with criminal syndicates. Bayne of Existence (2025) is the most recent entry, picking up the story after a five-year gap from Deep Shallows (2020).
