The 2nd Trader's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper...

After Ishmael Wang is promoted to the environmental section, he's caught in a swirl of mystery, doubt, belief, lust and a really nice fitting pair of jeans. He has to come to grips with what it means to be a spacer while he's still trying to figure out what it means to be a man. Join Ishmael, Brillo, Pip, and the rest of the crew of the Lois McKendrick as they help the newest member of the crew adjust to life in the Deep Dark.

Half Share is the sequel to Quarter Share, also available at Podiobooks.com.

oh.. it DID have .. the use of "explicit" is now reserved for iTunes usage and there just isn't enough in this book to make it much more than a PG rating anyway. Thanks for sharing your views.

Podiobooks did not have an explicit tag on it, or at least I did not see one and still don't. I will check out South Coast. I totally understand why we didn't hear more about Sarah, and Ishmael is an excellent character in which I loved hearing about. I don't want you to take me as offended, just lack of interest in that side of story. Either way I passed quarter share on to a friend, a 70 year old woman who is not a big sci fi fan, and she loved it. I still loved the stories and will pass on quarter share to anyone who I think would like it. I look forward to South Coast, I am downloading it now. aaron

I can certainly respect that, Aaron, but the book DID have an explicit tag on it, so it probably shouldn't have come as a surprise. MY take on Full Share is that it's less explicit, but I'm not sure you'd agree. It's particularly true of the ending which got a lot racier by the time it was all said and done. Once sensitized, you're going to be more aware of it, so perhaps you should give it a pass. As for hearing more about Sarah, remember that the story is about Ishmael, not Sarah. That's one of the liabilities of a first person point-of-view. I *can* recommend South Coast. Other than its representation of non-Christian belief systems, it's almost completely bland and innocuous. And you'll meet Sarah's father.
