READ THE TRADERS TALES FIRST!! I started the Solar Clipper books when I discovered them on PodioBooks.com. The author was the original reader and I still think the best. Mr Kafer does a good job but Mr Lowell is better in my opinion. I think that is mainly because Mr Lowell knows exactly how the conversations should be read. For those who never heard the original recordings Mr. Kafer’s performance will be quite enjoyable.
