We’re starting the second trilogy of Nathan Lowell’s Solar Clipper series with Double Share. It’s been four years and Ishmael has graduated from the academy and is on his way to his first posting as a third mate. But the William Tinker is almost the exact opposite of the Lois. Bullying, sexual assault and physical abuse are rampant on board. How can Ish help turn things around? Let’s start with the coffee.

Ep 63 - Half Share

This month we are returning to the Trader’s Tales books, by Nathan Lowell, with the second in the series; Half Share. We’re picking up where we last left Ish, Pip and the rest of the crew of the Lois McKendrick as they fly through space delivering cargo from space station to space station. This time around though things get a little more adult as our boys are growing up and coming to terms with what it means to be a “spacer.”

Ep 58 - Quarter Share

This month we start on a series Shaun introduced us to that immediately grabbed us and wouldn’t let go. Quarter Share, the first in the Trader’s Tale from The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper (that’s a mouth full), follows a Ishmael Wong as he gets a job on a space faring trading ship and grows into the position. Along the way he finds he enjoys the work, his co-workers and his new life. That’s it. No space battles or aliens trying to kill everyone. Sounds rather mundane… and you’ll love every minute of it.

Ep 56 - The Wizards Butler

Butler isn’t a job title most people would consider in this day and age. But tie the job to a 1 year contract, $5,000 a month and a cool million on completion and a lot of people might jump at it. But what if the old man you are taking care of thinks he is a wizard? What if he really is? This month we are reading The Wizard’s Butler by Nathan Lowell. We were a little late getting this one recorded and had already planned on taking off the month of December, so count this as an early Christmas present. Our next books will be:

January - Braided Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer
