But not a waste of fun time. I was worried about it being a “harem” fantasy from reading the other reviews. It’s not. The 18 year old main character thinks four of the women he works with are very hot but NONE of the shipmates are willing to mess with their particular ship’s culture and sleep with a fellow shipmate. Much angst but it is addressed. This story, like Quarter Share ends on a bit of a cliffhanger.
Also, IMO, a deep gravelly voice was not the best choice for an 18 year old, slender young man. But there are worse narrators.
