The Golden Age of Sail has Returned -- in the Year 2352 When his mother dies in a flitter crash, eighteen-year-old Ishmael Horatio Wang must find a job with the planet company or leave the system--and NerisCo isn't hiring. With credits running low, and prospects limited, he has just one hope...to enlist for two years with a deep space commercial freighter. Ishmael, who only rarely visited the Neris Orbital, and has never been off-planet alone before, finds himself part of an eclectic crew sailing a deep space leviathan between the stars.

Join the crew of the SC Lois McKendrick, a Manchester built clipper as she sets solar sails in search of profit for her company and a crew each entitled to a share equal to their rating.

Review of 'Quarter Share' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

What a disappointment! Joyless, clunky prose. One dimensional characters, every one an obvious type. Dialogue that sounds like it's straight outta "Leave It to Beaver." No plot, no antagonist, no rising or falling action, no strife, no drama, no intrigue, nothing at stake, no ideas at play. Much coffee is made. Many omelettes are eaten. Our hero studies and takes tests. At one point, the main characters are psyched because they have sold some belts. Five more books in the series? No thanks.
