Seeker's Tale, Book 1

By: Nathan Lowell

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

An old friend. A new course. A deadly ship with a secret cargo.

Ishmael Wang returns to Port Newmar, but ghosts from his past have followed him. His old shipmate, Phillip Carstairs, offers him the opportunity to track down the man who killed his lover. The catch? He must take command of the Chernyakova, a ship that still stinks of death and haunts Ishmael's nightmares.

Together Phillip and Ismael begin a journey into unknown reaches of the Deep Dark to bring back the man who killed Greta.

Welcome back Ishmael

This is the second series with Ishmael Wang as the central figure. If you have not read "Quarter Share" and the other five books in that series, I recommend you do so before the three books in this series.

I really like the above series and I have enjoyed this book. I like the characters and their attitude toward others. l have thoroughly enjoyed the laid back story with only limited dysfunctional interpersonal interactions. If you are looking for an easy fun read, this series might meet your need.

If you like guns, death, and gratuitous sex, this series is not for you. That is why I personally enjoy the series. In 2021, who needs more stress, more guns and more death.

huge fan of Nathans keep.up.the good work.

i have read all.of the solar clipper tales and so far this is one of my faves. keep up the good work.

good ending for the entire series.

This is the series that got me on to audible. I liked all the books in series; loved just listen to Ishmael solve his problems. I liked that he was lucky but not superhuman. Was a great series for me to fall into to escape the humdrum of my everyday life. Pace of the book was more to my liking. I believe that there was something like 11 book total about Ishmael but the three final books do kind of stand on their own with Ishmael as an owner. About coffee, the author likes good coffee, I myself like Duncan Doughnut coffee so I can kind of relate. Am doing some rather exotic teas at the moment. Yes,It's that kind of book.

love this book great character development.

I love this book along with all the others I've read from this author I found his books as podcast I've listened to them several times over this book is new and was never on there as far as I know but all the other ones I listen to them fully several times and then purchased and now have listened to all again straight through great author great character development I love all these books it's good to see stories were turning a profit isn't considered evil I really hope he publishes his Shaman books
