My journeying with Ish started back in July driving back from Michigan to Utah. My father in law introduced my wife to the series during our visit and afterward she read quarter share and started listening to one-half share I became hooked myself. Last night my wife and I stayed up until 2:30am finishing up owners share. Much of my thoughts as I drifted off were of Ish and where his new life volition take him.
Thanks for a wonderful serial. I look forwards to listening to the serial again and picking up on things I may have missed. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent for storytelling.
Pat Boyd says:
Thank you for a remarkable series. I institute Quarter Share on PodioBooks and have progressed upward to Full Share, where I am at present. Ish is a fabled grapheme, a bright and generous guy who doesn't know it. I doubtable the writer is the aforementioned. The voyages in space seem and so much like the trips would actually be, long, boring, with dashes of panic and hazard to spice information technology up. But the telling of the story is not long or slow, somehow moving along at a natural pace, and I love Nathan's phonation. Very well read.
Glen Romero says:
Just a quick question for the Helm. Are you lot whatsoever relation to Percival Lowell?
joe says:
I spent the past weak with this audio book. I found information technology on android librivox app it is a very moving story I found my self starting to weep at the stop of owner's shear. I would dear to see the story connected I would honey to see pip and the gang come back. Thanck yous for such a captavating story to get lost in.
Daniel says:
Hello Nathan
Is in that location any adventure the series volition go further in the solar clippers universe. I have now all available books, but the best feel is to listen at the Audio Book. Is there any Story in your listen that we volition become to hear soon. Information technology would exist great if this universe could stay alive, maybe open to other writers as well, it will never be the feel of the share Serial, but maybe the hope and the assistance for the junkies out where. Anyway it' is not the fine art to hook the people then allow them hang. Sorry my English.
The series continues later this yr with Seeker's Tales and a parallel series – Smuggler's Tales.
I has a plan. 🙂
Brian says:
I'm really glad to hear you are continuing these stories, and look forwards to y'all adjacent series. I showtime discovered these books while stationed aboard the CGC Sherman, and I was ever impressed with how closely you captured ship-lath life, and later recently stumbling across your bio now sympathise why. Thank you for the books, and I wait frontward to your time to come stories,
Jim says:
What a joy to hear the series continues. I accept read and listened to all your books but especially enjoy the Solar Series. Looking forward to the next volume.
John Peacock says:
I just relistened to the entire Trader's Tales serial after a long time away. I was stunned anew past the tragedies in Helm's Share, about every bit it was only the first time I was hearing them. I am heartened to hear that at that place will be more stories to come in this fascinating universe.
Joe says:
I stumbled on this podcast about 2 or 3 weeks ago and I simply finished listening to the end of owners share and I accept been completely hooked the unabridged time.
This is story telling at its finest and I can not await until there are more of these stories.
Maura says:
Ishmael Horatio Wong. What a great serial, Helm.
When I got through 95 % of Owners (half-dozen of vi) I found myself only wanting to read a page or 2 at a time for fright of finishing. Then thankfully found from Ashes and know in that location are more than to come. :). Every bit a life long sailor this serial has touched me – as captain and Cheif cook on our voyages the food does truly keeps the coiffure and passengers content, my power only keeps them safe.
Thanks Helm Sar!
Çeltiç says:
Sar. Go along upwardly the Excellent piece of work.
Josh says:
Was wondering when the next book in seekers is coming.
Subsequently the next book in Smuggler's comes out.
Marion Fifty Camp says:
I have merely finished reading all half dozen of the solar clipper books for the third time and they are still just equally entertaining as they were the first time! I accept read "In Ashes Born" twice and loved information technology likewise. Just downloaded "Milk Run" and look frontward to information technology only am disapointed that I missed"Exile" which as I understand is no longer available. Compassion! Hope you lot keep with your excellent writing!
Laura says:
Finished Milk Run just a few days later on I got it, despite starting a new school year educational activity at my university. Greatly enjoyed it. I was little shaky on ToeHold infinite; the readings on this site greatly helped. I want to go out into the Deep Dark myself! Waiting completely impatiently to read more about Ishmael.
Please Sir, can I have some more than. It'south the same affair after I terminate reading any of your piece of work. A hunger, a thirst for more. The manner your stories would seem to mimic real life, despite them being not of this earth, make them blithesome to read. Intelligent, humourous and full of people easy to imagine as real. I love the "Solar Clipper" and the deep dark. I wait, anticipate, your adjacent offering with barely concealed enthusiasm. Yours, Matthew.
Charles Napier says:
Love your work,can't wait for side by side one.
Mark Gouthro says:
I had trouble with the idea people would spend all their lives on a transport without ever taking a holiday. Today ships have at least 2 captains that alternate, and historically sailing clippers would do the same. I just tin can't believe people, who weren't slaves, would stand for working continuously, without a break for years.
You're actually getting into it. Cheers!
This is fiction and then some of the normal rules don't utilise. One of the suggestions I've made throughout the series is that the ships are their lives, their homes. The stories are also near life aboard and then any downtime, vacations, etc, wouldn't bear witness up in the narrative.
Mark Gouthro says:
Cheers for the respond! That makes sense for the narrative. Your stories remind me of the Aubreyâ€"Maturin series past O'Brian. Real people in a real earth.
Keith Koleno says:
Start, I'd like to say that your Solar Clipper serial is my favorite serial, from a person who has been reading for over 40 years. I really love the characters and the easy flow of your stories.
Secondly, regarding whelkies, what is your reason for having Ish give a whelkie to a specific person? I understand that each person was important to him, but if that is true, then why didn't Pip get one, or Alys or anyone on the Agamemnon such every bit Gwen. An inquiring mind would like to know. As well, based upon my count, he however has 5 whelkies left, I look forwards to run into who gets those.
I don't know. Maybe the whelkies are nonetheless looking for the people who demand them.
Mike says:
Later reading both Milk Run and In Ashes Born I'1000 trying to reconcile the discrepancy in how the TIC interacts with Toe Hold Space. Milk Run clearly shows that there are TIC agents in Toe Concord Infinite simply In Ashes Born states that the TIC doesn't know what's going on there.
Waiting for the next books in both the Smugglers and Seekers series. Also, volition Ish run into Nat? At the end of Milk Run I think it's Chief Stevens who signed on to the ship.
The question to ask is "Who says TIC doesn't know what'southward going on?"
Joseph says:
Hullo! I have been listening to your podiobooks during my 4 hr round commute and accept been extremely bummed with the issue of Bev and Ishmael. I don't know if it was how they did goodbye or what. Will they ever meet over again or hear about Bev? =\ or even Alveraz?
I seriously am bummed with this and would similar some sort of closure… Thanks for the great series and I can't think the last fourth dimension I've felt this way about a character. I'm on Captains Share episode 4.
Brian Howard says:
Simply finished listening to your readings of all the Trader's Tales. This was my second time through, in preparation to getting into the Seeker's Tales (more than I H Wong and Co – *YAY*). My get-go listening was great, my 2d listening fifty-fifty ameliorate (except maybe the matter relating to Article 37). Your people and events are a please! Give thanks yous so much 🙂
adam geitz says:
how-do-you-do hope you are doing well. just wondering when the next book will come out about Ishmael volition be out. I read approx. 15 to 20 books a month and while some books are well written I accept so far merely found ii authors who I really wait for something to be released unfortunately one of them has retired "Raymond Feist" the other is y'all { so if you lot could put of sleeping for the adjacent few years I would be very happy}. I take read all the solar clipper/deep nighttime books 5 times and have enjoyed and so all. it is good to see a story about a normal person with no magic, weapons special abilities etc. when I first read quarter share I was surprised how much I enjoyed it as I ordinarily similar the "hero" to crush and destroy his enemies using magic or weapons and not limp wristed magic like lord of the rings merely the type of magic Raymond feist created with his character "Pug". but I very surprised when I could not put downwardly quarter share and so half share then…. the rest of the series so far, thanks for inspiration the 24-hour interval dreams and dreams cant look for the next one promise its very soon
Angie says:
I don't have the time to read your books with school at 46 going dorsum is hard. I really depend on sound books to help me keep upward with the 1 of the best infinite sci-fi books to come out in years. can't wait for the next volume I am going crazy not know how Al ties in to the story.
Book 3 of the Seeker'southward Tales – By Darkness Forged – should be out past year finish.
I'm currently working on Volume 2 of Smuggler's Tales – Suicide Run – and hope to accept that done presently.
Jerry Michael Cobb Jr says:
just finished listening to In Ashes born and I am blown away, Ishmael Wang quest is in my stance has been one of growth and loss and now he has purpose. I desire thank you for starting a new series, I can't wait for the next book.
Michael says:
I have really enjoyed all of the Solar Clipper books, and am re-reading In Ashes Born. One question popped up as I take read… the Chernyakova has a wardroomand a mess bellboy, and I saw that on the Tinker as well. Did the Lois take a wardroom? At that place was no mention of one in the showtime three books, and either Pip or Ishmael would have been detailed every bit mess attendant. Is this a particular that hadn't been fleshed out yet in the earlier books, or did the officers on the Lois eat on the mess deck with the crew?
Susan Temple says:
I am desperate to get By Darkness Forged and Suicide Run. When can we await them to be available?
Jim says:
Merely finished Suicide Run. I'thou fascinated by Ernst Panko. Is his backstory in any of your other books? I've tried to reload them on to my Kindle and search but no luck.
Nope. He's a new grapheme.
Keith Verret says:
How practice the timelines of Seeker's Tale and Smuggler's Tale mesh upwards? Happening at the same time (don't recall and so)? Separated by years, decades? What came first, the Chernyakova or the Peregrine?
Seeker's comes after Owners
Smuggler'due south comes in the empty spot betwixt Double and Captain'south.
Peregrine is over two centuries onetime. Chernyakova, not that old.
Peter CHILTON says:
And so I am trying to think who has it in for Ismael, who paid "Ruby-red Herring". I tin can only retrieve of one character who would, could hate such a human with gusto… He would have the resources and power to motility in the darkness and the skills to fly a fast bundle away from a murder scene with a avoiding on board. To refuse to turn back when called and disappear into the toe-holds, the only place he could operate after being blacklisted in CPJCT infinite…. Who would have had 15 years or and then to plan a revenge and put the pieces in place…..
Mr David Burnside…..
cant wait for the adjacent seekers tale to notice out…
Peter Chilton says:
Well…. I sure was off the mark at that place wasn't I
Sean says:
I accept a question. How long/far is a "Burleson Unit of measurement"? I don't know why this bothers me, but it does. Delight assistance!
I oasis't identified it. The physics of this are … messy. It leads to people trying to calculate how far from World this universe is and explaining why fifty-fifty small jump errors effect in ships overshooting entire star systems … unless the stars are really too close together to co-exist. If information technology's going to be a problem, best to surrender on me now. 🙂
I recall of it as "how far a ship with a given mass and rated drive tin can curve space." Small ships (depression mass) tin can spring sooner and oftentimes further than large ships for a particular level of power consumption.
Shan says:
Just wondering when Captain's Share will be bachelor for Kindle buy over again .It's a flake weird that books i-4 and 6 are bachelor, but not volume 5. Having just finished book 4, I'd similar to read volume 5 before book half-dozen….
Tim Lavrouhin says:
Heard you were sick. Please get well…or be well. It scares the heck out of me to hear you've been ill. I'grand 71 and a large fan of your solar clipper books. I think I've read the "share" series four times. Merely finished smugglers and seekers and am sure they will be re read. In this scary zombie apocalypse any illness must be taken seriously. Please accept care and know that there a many of u.s.a. out hither sending love, or prayers, or white light to you (depending on which magic nosotros believe in)???? Please be well and keep writing. Nosotros need y'all!
Jerry Babione says:
I have enjoyed your books. The two I have left to read are Suicide Run and Home Run. Ismael strikes a cord with me. I was enlisted for nine years prior to attention Officeholder's Candidate School. The Army isn't so dissimilar. I look frontward to what comes of the pairing of characters after joining forces.
Peter Chilton says:
Constitute information technology at last…!! A yr or so agone I commented that at ane point in the original narrations (by far the best imho), that David Burneside was referred to equally Daniel…. well, after listening to the entire Solar clipper universe twice over (no hardship btw), I found it….
In double share, where Geoff Maloney was handing command of the william tinker over to Mel, he spoke of captain Rossett having his ticket pulled, and Daniel Burnside being blacklisted from here to Gretna and back…. I was kickoff to thing I was going nuts…!!
Glen Romero says:
I'm near the finishing a consummate reread of the whole serial. I noticed that in Double Share Mr Voorhees share his last proper name withe Jason from Fri the 13th. Is this a coincidence or another proper noun drop.
Just coincidence. I don't know the movie franchise at all.
Ronnie Standridge says:
