If you love a good "Cozy Fantasy" but wish there was something a little more "Sci-fi"... look no further. In fact, start with this author's original series about The Golden age of the Solar Clipper!

This book seems to be continuing the series with all the familiar elements. Excellent world-building, superb character growth and development, and a wonderful story that will leave you feeling like you just made some friends across the galaxy. 

While I'm old enough to have read the original series as narrated by the author himself, I have to say this narrator does a fine job and really does the story justice. 


Great read

Like all of his books, this story pulled me in and held me captive. Easy-reading with engaging characters. I can't wait to start the next...

It almost felt like a greatest hits collection from the old books and it brought that smile I had for every moment of the other series. You care deeply about the characters and even if it lacks big events this story is about the journey

I adore all of the Solar Clipper stories. This was like coming home. The author writes stories I can return to over and over again.

Excellent continuation of Ishmael Wang's story. Loved that some of the familiar faces from earlier in the series showed up and at the same time I miss some of the new characters recently introduced. I like the dynamic between Ishmael and Pip and like how the story developed.

This was an excellent introduction in this next part of the story and looking forward to Ishmael confronting Perc or whatever his name is.

So glad to be back with Ish and Pip!
