Milk Run

Smuggler's Tales, Book 1

De: Nathan Lowell

Narrado por: Emily Woo Zeller

Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of engineering officer jobs, until, at the graduation party, a classmate turned up dead. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation...and any semblance of civilized society.

With a damaged second-hand ship and TIC interceptors dogging her step, she nets a smuggling contract that might just get her back on her feet and in control of her destiny. But only if she's willing to make an ore run back to the place she's wanted for murder, and into the arms of the authorities...who somehow know she's coming.

Written in Nathan Lowell's popular Trader's Tales and Seeker's Tales universe.

Excellent!

Again Mr. Lowell writes a fantazstic book with great plot and strong character development. This story also contains his excellent sense of humor and drama. Emily Woo Zeller does a fantastic work bring the characters to life and filling out who they are and what they are about. I look forward to the time when these two new and interesting people meet up with Ish and Pip and the amazing new stories that can happen. In the meantiime, both of you keep up the good work!

Narrator makes Zoya sound like Dora the Explorer

Good story - very good story, but narrator Emily Woo Zeller is awful. Natalia sounds fine, but Zoya sounds like a six-year-old Dora the Explorer. All that's missing is the monkey. She also is ineffective at voicing a lot of the men. It really detracted from the story.

A great, light space opera

This is a fun read. Nothing too serious, a little bit of mystery, a little bit of intrigue. I quite enjoyed it, and it was fun getting into this “world.”

A delightful return to the Golden Age

This first book in a new series is a delightful return to Nathan Lowell's golden age of the solar clipper. It is from a different perspective, with a new group of compelling characters and a similar feel to the Trader's Tales series.

In addition to being a character driven story, there is a who-dunnit aspect to the plot that continued to entertain beyond the pay-off.

To top all of this off, while Nathan's own narrations are uniquely satisfying, Emily Woo Zeller's narration of this book is outstanding! It is far more satisfying than the narrations of Lowell books performed by Jeffrey Kafer (who I think can be a great narrator for the right story, and while still worth listening to, wasn't a great fit Nathan's books).

Nathan did it again

Another fantastic story by Nathan Lowell. Captivating reader. It was wonderful to meet Nats and Z on this voyage and I look forward to the next voyage with them.
