This is one of the SF books that is not military or government sponsored like exploration flights. And it follows regular trading routes, using ships just as specialized as our seagoing container ships. And like those seamen, he requests assignment to gradually more complex departments. Just because there is no combat in space, it still can be deadly. And without quick reaction, the Lois is going to finish this trip explosively.Readers can see that Lowell has built this universe with easily understood concepts; the network on the ship and data logs are very familiar. Filtering and Scrubbing concepts make sense; balancing O2 and CO2 was central to the return of Apollo 13.Buy the Solar Clipper series, you will like it.
