Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 7, 2013
I am re-publishing this review as Mr. Lowell had his book rights returned to him and has published the book under his own imprint.If you haven't read the first two books in the series, you can read this one and it will be okay but I strongly recommend you read them so you can understand the dialogue of the characters and the dynamics of this excellent series. Start off withQuarter Share (Trader's Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper), then continue withHalf Share (Trader's Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper), then you will be ready for this one.Without having a spoiler, let me tell you what I really liked about this one. I love science fiction, and this one is really a coming of age series disguised as science fiction. If you like Robert Heinlein, you will absolutely love Nathan Lowell's work.You continue the journey of Ish as he continues to mature from a boy into a responsible young man. I think what I like about Nathan Lowell's Solar Clipper series is he does a masterful job of making you feel like you are one of the characters in the story. This next comment may sound really strange, but to me he tells you the details that most authors avoid without ruining the story of the interactions between people, what they are feeling, and even what they had for lunch and dinner. You find yourself rooting for Ish as you turn each page.I've been waiting for this one to come out for a long time - now I can't wait for the next one in the series!
