start at the beginning

These are wonderful stories! Be sure to start with the first book, Quarter Share and proceed from there. I think this is something like the twelfth? I am dying for the next one to be available in March. Then I will have to wait a long time to see if he writes more. I am dearly hoping the next three after that will be about Natalie & Zoya on the new ship with Ishmael & Pip. I would like to see Zoya and Pip get married, but something tells me there will be stormy intermittent love with Natalie and Ish. And of course, the important part: leadership and adventure in the "deep dark" because, as Joss Whedon said,

"Take me out to the black,
Tell them I ain't comin back.
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can't take the sky from me."

Makes me wish I'd had more ship time. I could have stayed for another term, and rode Nitze back from the NAG, through Suez, but I had class ashore and wanted to spend a week in London, on my way home. I wish Pickle and I could do a quarter together, on a carrier, but she could not do that until she retires from her shore job. Safe journey, readers! ;-)

Good, fast moving tale

It gets a bit confusing at points though. I’m not always sure I’ve gotten the through line. But isn’t that how life works? :D

a pleasant sci-fi adventure and mystery story,

a good story overall, with decent sci-fi mechanics. Good narration with decent voice work. a pleasant and suspenseful mystery

I Love This Universe!

Nathan Lowell has once again taken me out to the stars. His vision of the future reminds me that while things change, people don't.

Thrilling read

Could not stop listening! I absolutely love the universe that Nathan has created! What a storyteller. Can't wait to read the next story.

Shipyard story

For you if you like the Politics and the machinations of bureaucracy at play in space

another Lowell deep space novel

I love Lowell's descriptive views of space. and his characters come to life as I listen.

but please, can we have less of 'Zoya said' or 'Natalya said' or muttered.

the voices are different enough that the listener can distinguish. and it distracts from the story.

waiting for the next book.

narrator is TERRIBLE !!!!!

sayz ... said ... always the same tone on says just drops right out of the tone of the sentence

Natalie sayz ... Natalie said ... always the same tone
I had to listen to the books at 1.5 just to get over the junk narrator ... terrible sayz

Nathan did good

Nathan is on a roll with this series. An easy read. If you want unbridled sex and violence, this book is NOT for you. This book, and series, is pretty laid back with just enough action to keep it moving along.

It is well performed.

I enjoyed the book so much, I'm going to grab a cup of coffee and start the third book in this series.

And, the other Clipper series that starts with "Quarter Share" is another excellent series of six books by Nathan Lowell. It takes place in the same time and location as this series. I recommend you read them all.

Another..Home Run..by Mr. Lowell

You see what I did there, Right? Next book please. I do enjoy this world the Mr. Lowell has created, deep characters, easy listening, and everything doesn't go to hell all of the time...like.. every other paragraph is a universe rending calamity. and..there's coffee....
