“I kept forgetting to leave a review. I was not aware that the story had several titles or books as it were. I accidently started with the next book in the series "captains share" it was obviousley a great story or i never would have gone back to the beginning and on to listen to all of the books. I am a huge fan of "audio drama". This series is an audio book which I can almost NEVER get past the first few minutes. I forgot I was listening to an audio book and realized that it indeed was not an audio drama after 3 episodes. That is a very rare thing for me to have happened. The author read books often ruin the story because authors do not realize that writing a good story and telling a good audio story do not always go together. It is best to let the pros do what they do and the author needs to park his ego and let the story be spoken by someone who can do so that the listener can enjoy the story. There are VERY FEW times that I have enjoyed an author reading his/her own book that were enjoyable and this is one of those few times. The characters are written so well as is every other part of this series that I did not regret having to listen to the series in audio book format. This is not a guns out shoot em' up story. I felt so close to the characters that i experienced every emotion that was felt in every character. This is a story that one would not read if I had to give a very short explanation but if you start really at any point you will simply have to keep reading to see what happens to who next. I do not have the skills to put into words how much I enjoyed the complete series. All I can say is that the characters pulled me in and i was never bored. I loved this series and now that I have listened to the entire series I already miss my friends. Excellent writing excellent characters and excellent audio. Thanks Mr Lowell! I have a chronic pain that gets so bad that somedays i can do little more than sit up and take bathroom breaks. This series just let me get away from the dark that pain makes me feel. I was allowed to escape and in doing so bad days were not as bad as they can be thank you for that. If I had millions i would have paid millions for the relief this series has given me. NOW GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING AND LISTEN TO THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING!”Read full review »

“Four years have passed since the end of the previous book and this one and Ishmael is back in the deep dark on a new ship with a new crew...and what a crew it is. This book was very good with a lot of the spirit of the earlier books in the series. I found myself rooting for Ishmael, as usual....”Read full review »
