Story of life on a deep space freighter with good characters.""For me this book brought up shades of Robert Heinlein to me. The scrappy characters fighting to get ahead make you want to root for them. This is not your typical space aliens conquer the universe book. Nathan Lowell takes a seemingly mundane thing (trade and business) and makes it into something you want to learn about.""I'm not the first to say there's a connection here to the works of Robert Heinlein, but the shoe fits. Lowell's writing is crisp and his future is vivid; it's a place you'd like to live.""The story just flows well...I couldn't put the book down until I finished. And then right when I finished (at 1 AM in the morning) I was back on Amazon's site looking for the next book in the series.""I just want to add to all the praise for Lowell, this book was an excellent read, and if you are a fan of SciFi, definitely recommended."
