This really IS a series about a whale (a dolphin, actually) and the man who is ruled by it. Nathan Lowell’s “Trader’s Tales” starts as a coming-of-age novel. Over the course of six gently-paced books, it becomes something unique: a coming-of-age epic. A meditation on the nature of adulthood through the eyes of a man trapped by the very tragedy that catapults him off into the cosmos to seek his destiny. I won’t bother re-summarizing the books here. You can find the details at Nathan’s website. [...] [...] Call him Ishmael–and forget the Moby Dick reference at your peril.

They especially kept my mind out in the universe & off my misery while in bed with the flu. I was deeply disappointed to hear that Owners Share ended the series. It's one of those stories where you have to know what happens next. What about Ish's relationship with his father? What's he going to do now that he's sold Iris? Will he find love again? Will he find a good tailor? Please, sir, may I have some more? Stumbled on the books & absolutely LOVED them!

Golden Age of the Solar Clipper series is third on my docket, after "Selections from The Improbable Sherlock Holmes" (to fit with his Holmes kick) and "A Princess of Mars" (because the "John Carter" movie is coming out). I'll have good things to say. Hope you like it. Hey, Nathan:
