De: Nathan Lowell

Narrado por: Jeffrey Kafer

An inexperienced officer. A dysfunctional ship. Life in the Deep Dark just got a whole lot harder.

In his first assignment as an officer, Ishmael Horatio Wang finds himself fresh out of school, wet behind the ears, and way out of his depth. Aboard the William Tinker the senior officers are derelict and abusive, the crew demoralized and undisciplined, and change unwelcomed and dangerous. Can Ishmael use what he learned aboard the Lois McKendrick to help the crew find the ship's heart? Or will he discover that bucking the system may come at too high a price?

Return to the Deep Dark with Ish in this fourth installment of the award-winning Solar Clipper series, as he makes the transition from crew to officer.

Entertaining story with good characters

Entertaining story with good characters. A good listen if you want a book to keep you involved but not too much drama. He brings the listener along, not with conflict but, because the characters are engaging. But there is enough action to keep the listener engaged. Some listeners may find the pace a little slow, but it suits me very well.

Reversal of previous story line

I have enjoyed the low stress of the previous three books in the series, where the plot focused on the protagonist adapting to the new life of a spacer and the ship is a place where women and men are on an equal footing with mutual respect all around. In this book, Ish finds himself on a ship where the female crew is harassed, abused and raped on a daily basis. Ish helps to fix the problem. Told in the same time and level of detail as the other books, one’s imagination supplies the horrific situation for the women of the ship.

Very Creditworthy

I'm so glad the story here got back to the quality of the first books. I was terribly disappointed by the last book as it meandered through a non-story and left me wondering why even bother with this wimpy wrap up of The Lois and onto new ventures.

This book had a nice meaty story that was a good "read". Thumbs up.

Excellent Book

This book is well read and written.
I have listened to it as a podcast before.
Highly recommend it to people that like space
adventures.

Great continuation!

Great continuation of a great story. This was the logical extension of Ishmail’s spacer career. Can’t wait to see where Captain’s Share takes him!
