Read by Nathan Lowell
When he graduates from the Academy at Port Newmar, Ishmael Horatio Wang reports for duty in his first assignment as an officer. When he gets to his new ship, he finds things are not exactly the way he'd learned in school. The coffee tastes like used engine oil, the ship has no heart, and the nearest decent tailor is two quadrants away. What's a new Third Mate to do? Will he be able to trust Billy?

Really Enjoyable

This was the best of the series so far. Very well done. Story had substance and Ish has evolved as a mature and as a very likeable common sense character with integrity. On previous books it got silly sometimes at how he was taken up with his physique and how women were viewing him - definitely a man's frame of thought. I'm glad he got out of that phase in this book. As in all the books the reading is very well done . You have a wonderful voice Mr Lowell and a gift to tell a good story.

A friend recommended 'Trader Tales' to me and I'm very glad she did. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to all 6 of the books. And now I've just finished 'Ravenwood'. So I have to go see what else Mr. Lowell has written. Part of my enjoyment is the strong female ...

I'm 71. Captain's Share was the second audio book I 'read'. The first was Nightfall. Your reading is superb. Every word is clearly understood and the stories are riveting. One feels as if they are climbing the ladders along with Ishmael. I have now listened to all except Owner's Share. ...
It just keeps getting better

Our Hero's journey continues as an officer. Even more interesting than the other books, calls to mind Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin, Forester's Horatio Hornblower, and similar, without the war. It's all about the human drama, set in the space age of sail. Highly recommended.

As always, Mr. Lowell has out done himself. I found myself angry and feeling stressed with the difficulties presented to Mr. Wong. I often mulled over the problems when away from the story and sought to come up with solutions. Well done, you really pulled me in!

Continuing my second listen to this remarkable series...I'm left cheering after listening to this wonderful book. Here a graceful heart overcomes a disturbing and often dark situation...repleat with vilan and henchmen. This book maintains a constant tension that gets ratcheted up every now and then. Nathan...I am totally absorbed into this series...and this has much to do with your skills as a narrator....as well as your ability to create such interesting characters and provide them with very clever dialogue. Such a treat....
mostly enjoyed these a great deal.

They were marred by the excess of sexual content in the second book. I also feel like the women officers in this final story were extremely negligent in protecting their crew. However, I feel like the author really did a good job of world building and I liked most of the chat. Well done and well read.
Awesome!

I love the story and appreciate that you've created an entire universe for your characters to explore. Strong and interesting, characters containing depth allowing interaction with each other and their environment. The characters flow smoothly through the story as they grow and learn to become more than they are/were. I've read the entire series and am reviewing them as a whole.
