In this second installment in the wonderful Solar Clipper series, Ishmael Horatio Wang is forced to leave the mess deck for Environmental. All the main characters from Quarter Share are still here, and we add a couple of new ones as well. Without giving anything away, this is a somewhat darker story, with significantly more actual peril than in Quarter Share. But it’s still about the characters and about telling a _good story_, something that Nathan Lowell excels at.
Jeffrey Kafer’s narration is good, with no over-dramatization and good pacing — much in the style of the author’s own reading of the book earlier as a podcast. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait for the rest of the series
