Publisher's summary

A brand new ship. A brand new crew. What could possibly go wrong?

When Ishmael takes a crew of academy cadets into the Toe Holds, he's unprepared for the level of trouble green hands can get into.

Meanwhile, their academy liaison discovers what can go wrong when you learn the wrong lessons and try to teach the wrong students.

Will they all make it back to the academy before somebody accidentally takes a short walk out the airlock without a suit?

Paperwork side of space

I was hoping to hear more stories about exploration and the cadets on board, but the tale is mired in logistics and educational practices.

Back to the Ish I have come to love

After School Days left a sour taste in my mouth, Working Class seems to find Ishmael coming back into himself finally. The crew is back in the toeholds, now with a bunch of cadets/quarter shares along to make trouble and force Ish to do some soul searching. Captain Case is much more mature suddenly in this book and has some very important things for Ish to hear. Lots for Lowell to wrap up in the final instalment. Looking forward to it!

What didn’t stand out!

Other than the audio glitches in chapters 2-4 every second was amazing! I love the world or I should say universe you’ve created and it has me star struck and itching for more. I am sad that I’ve finished this book but I’m even more excited for the next! I can’t wait!

Edit: AUDIO FIXED.

update: after contacting customer support the AUDIO HAS BEEN FIXED

original: I am really sorry to write this about one of my all time favorite authors and one of my favorite narrators. There are significant issues with playback like others have said. Any proof listening should have caught this. I have raised this issue with customer support who will probably send this back to the publisher.

PSA: the issues are only up to end of chapter 4

A welcome visit with familiar friends

Yes there are a few audio glitches in the first 1/4 of the story, which I'm fairly certain are the fault of Audible or Podium, not to Mr. Kafer or Mr. Lowell. Honestly, they need to FIX this issue and inform the people who have already bought a copy that a 'good copy' is available for re-download. (TBH If I were the author - I'd be pissed)
Still, with that being said, the glitches were distracting and did momentarily take you out of the story, but being a die-hard fan of the universe it didn't ruin the experience in whole.
If anything, I was more distracted by the progression of each chapter. Knowing that my time visiting this universe was ticking by stan by stan - with an ending that would be coming sooner than I wanted, like a kid on summer vacation.
::sigh!::
Can't wait for the next (Audible) book release!

Filling out the characters

this book spent a lot of time developing the characters. Lowell is adding a lot to the universe and I hope he continues to flesh it out. I particularly enjoy the idea of an instructional designer shipping out with them and sort of expected him to start taking shifts.
If you are a fan of this series, you will probably enjoy this one as well

Once again, the relationships are so real.

I love the stories and the seamless reality of spacer life. It feels as if I am there, going and living aboard.
