After getting two suggestions from audible books I might like I took a chance on this author. The first was in a different genre and I found it enjoyable. The second was the series from which this series stems. It’s not a wiz, bang shoot’m up space adventure so if that’s what you are looking for you probably won’t be so happy with this. It is a different story and starts with a book called “Quarter Share “ by the author. The story follows the career of an individual who chooses a path in working in space on ships and his adventures leading into this series. This book is where the author has desided to continue that story. I would highly recommend you get and read the first book and all that follow from there to here. The author’s first hand knowledge of seafare and ability to weave a interesting story like that of old is refreshing. Try them all you won’t be disappointed
