A Trader's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper : Book 4
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?

There's one more book (at least) on the docket for this year - and more news to come. :)By: PavementPilot
Nathan I have to give you this compliment. I was relistening to the series again (for the 8th time) and I finally figured out what your series and narration reminds me of. The series 'Little Britches' by Ralph Moody and read by Cameron Bierle. And I have met Cameron in Spokane, WA were he works. Still awaiting the last from you.By: Nathan
Thanks, Jim. Five years in the US Coast Guard. I spent a year bobbing in a cutter in the North Atlantic. Gave me some insight into the importance of a good cuppa coffee.
