And it should feel pretty real otherwise. I floated in the North Atlantic for a year myself in the early 70s. Not on a nuke, obviously :) @kevin – yeah I realized later that I blew that one.

I will be buying the others as soon as they come out. I am currently listening to your pod cast, Full Share. I have to make a comment (Nit-picking, but almost always gotten wrong in press and stories). I was stationed on a nuclear submarine for 5 years, and now work in the nuclear industry. I believe in chapter 8, Ish comments that he hopes the reactor doesn’t go critical. Actually critical is a good thing in a power reactor, that is when the reactor is producing power. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/criticality http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/basic-ref/glossary/criticality.html “Prompt Critical” is really BAD. Super-critical or Sub-critical is just power going up or down. Everything else reminds me of my time in the navy, the terms/talk/watchstanding have a "real" feel.

I am listening to them as fast as they are dropped to the feed. Kinda sad this is the last book in the series (unless there are plans I'm not aware of!). One comment about Ishmael's cargo picking. I know going transporting high priority cargo is preferable. However, once he has gotten all the high priorities he can, why isn't he stuffing the rest of his hold with regular cargo? It may not make much, but I bet it is more than empty hold space. Keep up the good work! Regards, Jeff Hi Nate,

That would be great... I understand it if you can't make it. Maybe a pilgrimage is in order... Any more updates to the list? Balitcon? That would be great… I understand it if you can’t make it.

I read on Kindle almost exclusively now. Will you be releasing the Kindle version at the same time as the printed copy? Love your work, keep it coming Nate! Oh, and I'd love to share a link to your site on facebook. Do you have a landing page / facebook share button for the series ? Kind Regards, Craig LOVED Quarter Share!
