Nathan Lowell is an expert storyteller and this series is proof of that. I’ve already made it through all 6 in the “Trader Series” so this is a review of the series as well as this book. This space opera follows the life, career, and misadventures of Ishmael Wang. The character development is brilliant! The storyline was so engaging that I binged through all 6 audiobooks in only a couple weeks. Buy it you will not regret it. A side note I originally listened to the authors narration of the series and I slightly preferred it.
