About this listen

It pays to take a second look.

In the Deep Dark, it's a long walk home.

The Marva Collins runs into unexpected problems a long way from port. Faced with some hard decisions and uncertain about the choices, Ishmael has to roll the dice with inadequate information.

Is he sailing too close to the edge of forever?

A wonderful ending/pause to a long tale. I've loved it all, right from the first podcast of Quarter Share.
The universe where this is all set is so believable, the characters are so real, I just want the stories to carry on...

I hope this isn't the end

So disappointed with this series. Nothing much happens, two bar fights in three books, plus company boardroom talk. Repeated phrase… you’ve given me a lot to think about. If it wasn’t that I like the narrators voice, I’d have given up.

Boring
