loved it perfect for relaxing.I did not want to stop listening.got sucked in.

The first installment of A Trader’s Tale finished with such promise. Unfortunately that promise was broken in this 2nd installment. I’m really on the fence about risking a credit on installment 3.

I’m not sure why I enjoy Nathan Lowell’s book so much. There’s no epic tale, no all-conquering hero and nothing a lifetime of reading science fiction (over 60 years of reading as I’m now in my 70’s) has taught me to expect. Whatever the reason is I’ve come to greatly enjoy these everyman in space..

If you’d like your pre-teen or maybe teenager to learn what they normally teach in Junior Achievement, this book is for you. Tell them it’s an exciting space opera and before they know it they’re learning about inventory and how to figure the cost of running a small business.If that sounds boring to you, congrats…you’re..

great chanraderue in the characters, but … Are they really in outer space? It’s hard to tell. There’s not much difference in ship culture or the small problems solved by the characters to show that the series is set in the future or that the characters have knowledge of fantadtic technology, aliens or space travel…

made it further than I normally would have because of the phenomenal narration. story, characters, and plot were thin on actual Kaiju action and heavy on repetitive fluff that distracted from the plot. yet another giant monster story that misses the point: we’re here for the monsters, not the people.

The story is cool. I found myself being entertained by this work. As reality goes most crews have people that don’t get along by choice and the eighteen-year-olds are lazy and selfish. But this is fantasy and it is fun.

great book in a great series. looking forward to the rest of the books. highly recommended

I enjoyed the first two books but this was a chore to complete. It read like an “after-action” report with very little from the perspective of the characters. Ten hours of minutia.

there’s nothing wrong with the book but not enough sci-fi adventure. needs a bit of science, intrigue or danger. nice characters but it needs a troublemaker!
