About this listen

A new ship. A new crew. A different kind of mission.

When Manchester Yards donates a new training vessel to the Merchant Officer Academy at Port Newmar, Alys Giggone recalls the Chernyakova.

She wants Ishmael Wang and his crew to take a crew of cadets into the Deep Dark. They have to sort out the crews of two ships, figure out what lessons they need to teach, and who will get those lessons.

Once they agree, the trouble starts.

love love loved it as I do the whole of the clipper ship stories , it's so relatable it could be happening now. great characters from the original stories and some new ones to get your teeth into , it's going to be a fantastic series I am itching to read the next one already.

I have been an avid NATHAN LOWELL fan for years, but this ain't cutting it, going back to quarter share ,where I fell in love with his writing. would rather give libravox £100 a book an carry on getting audibilised .

Nathan Lowell is hurting to be back telling his own story's

In the early days Nathan narrated his books himself, he had such a distinct and unique voice and style that when he moved over to Podium and Audible and started using Jeffrey it was really jarring.

It's been years and many books now since that change and it's taken til the last coupleof books for me to finally begin to hear Jeffrey and accept him and wouldn't want anyone else now.

As for the story, joining back up with Ishmael and crew is always like putting on an old pair of slippers and feeling thatcomfort of knowing that you are going to sit down and be cosy for however many hours it takes you to listen.

When i first listened to one of Nathan's books way back when on Podiobooks my first review was titled 'In space, no-one can hear you clean' and nothing much has changed.

Nathan can make the mundanity of every day life so eminently listenable, he takes thebanality of every day tasks and has you rapt with attention.

I really don't know how he does it, it's some sort of alchemy that's never been reproduced, I wouldn't want it to be either as Nathan's stories and style are so uniquely his.

As always five stars across the boards, now it's the wait for book 2. Let's see where the Marva Collins and the Chernyakova end up.

story and narration

Another installment of the generally excellent Solar Clipper series and a return to the slice of life tone of most of the books after the more tense 'By Darkness Forged'. While still a good book it seems slower and more hesitant than say 'In Ashes Born' and ends a bit abruptly just about the moment it finds it's pace.

Slow begining

Loved the continuity of narator. The author has not disapointed. Great continuity of the story. Looking forward to further instalments.

Good story as usual
