Quarter Share |
|
By Nathan Lowell |
|
| When his mother dies
in a flitter crash, eighteen-year-old Ishmael Horatio
Wang must find a job with the planet company or leave
the system—and NerisCo isn't hiring. With credits
running low, and prospects limited, he has one hope...to
enlist for two years with a deep space commercial
freighter. Ishmael only rarely visited the Neris Orbital
and has never been off-planet alone before, but finds
himself part of an eclectic crew sailing a deep space
leviathan between the stars. |

Join the crew of
the SC Lois McKendrick, a Manchester built solar clipper
as she sails the stars struggling to turn a profit for
her company and a crew each entitled to a share equal to
their rating. |

Praise for
Quarter Share
"Quarter Share is a love letter to science
fiction, an authentic coming-of-age celebration of blue
collar "lower decks" folk. Nathan Lowell tells a tale so
real, you can practically smell the spaceship galley's
coffee—and almost see the engine oil beneath your
fingernails. Hero Ishmael is clearly destined for great
things. Thankfully for readers, so is Nathan Lowell."
