Publisher's summary

A brand new ship. A brand new crew. What could possibly go wrong?

When Ishmael takes a crew of academy cadets into the Toe Holds, he's unprepared for the level of trouble green hands can get into.

Meanwhile, their academy liaison discovers what can go wrong when you learn the wrong lessons and try to teach the wrong students.

Will they all make it back to the academy before somebody accidentally takes a short walk out the airlock without a suit?

Edit: AUDIO FIXED.

update: after contacting customer support the AUDIO HAS BEEN FIXED

original: I am really sorry to write this about one of my all time favorite authors and one of my favorite narrators. There are significant issues with playback like others have said. Any proof listening should have caught this. I have raised this issue with customer support who will probably send this back to the publisher.

PSA: the issues are only up to end of chapter 4

A welcome visit with familiar friends

Yes there are a few audio glitches in the first 1/4 of the story, which I'm fairly certain are the fault of Audible or Podium, not to Mr. Kafer or Mr. Lowell. Honestly, they need to FIX this issue and inform the people who have already bought a copy that a 'good copy' is available for re-download. (TBH If I were the author - I'd be pissed)
Still, with that being said, the glitches were distracting and did momentarily take you out of the story, but being a die-hard fan of the universe it didn't ruin the experience in whole.
If anything, I was more distracted by the progression of each chapter. Knowing that my time visiting this universe was ticking by stan by stan - with an ending that would be coming sooner than I wanted, like a kid on summer vacation.
::sigh!::
Can't wait for the next (Audible) book release!

Great addition to the story

Another wonderful glimpse into the life and business of Ishmael as he humbly influences his crew and ultimately the whole Western Annex.
Mr. Kafer as narrator is finally hitting his stride with Mr. Lowell's work in these most recent couple of installments. Established pronunciations from the author were all observed and honored so no noticable wince moments from mispronunciations in this one, woohoo!

Lowell does it again!

Excellent sequel to School Days. Kafer works magic as usual.

Audio IS a bit wonky/glitchy in a few places early in the book, but not so bad you can't infer what's happening.

love this series

I absolutely love this series it's not super wild and very chill and relaxing non stressful the banter and dialog between characters is excellent. this book or series isn't for everyone especially those seeking high tech and super scifi the story is slow and sometimes the conversations seem to be a bit repetitive but it's a good book to chill and relax too the narrator is excellent and lobe to see more from the author within this universe but with some more action

Filling out the characters

this book spent a lot of time developing the characters. Lowell is adding a lot to the universe and I hope he continues to flesh it out. I particularly enjoy the idea of an instructional designer shipping out with them and sort of expected him to start taking shifts.
If you are a fan of this series, you will probably enjoy this one as well

I love the stories and the seamless reality of spacer life. It feels as if I am there, going and living aboard.
