I have purchased all of this series and I will be honest with you all, could be a mistake. A very exciting story that I had a very hard time putting it down daily. Mort, a surly gruff wizard, has a very understandable outlook all things considered and he of course reminds me of an old friend who was enjoyable to hang with…trusted. Captain Carl, can almost always talk his and his crews way out of a bind, winds up being a brilliant leader. The rest of the crew, has their own well parsed and built characters that will certainly not be passed by. God bless you my Audible friends and family!! Have fun!
