After getting a bit darker in the last book, Lowell decides to spread it a little more gray this time. It's not always "best possible outcome" with a wink and a grin, but it is pretty close. Ishmael continues to work his charm captaining a new ship, the Agamemnon. While it might be the worst ship in the fleet, it's crew isn't nearly as troubled as in Double Share. There are certainly call backs to Ishmael's earlier ships and he pays those lessons forward with good results.

I certainly hope this isn't his last book in the series and I eagerly look forward to his next installment of this or the Shaman's Tales series (set in the same universe). ...more

Ishmael Horatio Wang makes it to captian of the Agamemnon. If you only listen to one podcast listen to any of the Share books; wonderful and charming.
