thanks.

when I shifted the maps to be a lower level, it changed the (not so-)perma links for them.

Should be fixed now.

Sorry, sar, but the link to Diurnia Sector (http://solarclipper.com/diurnia-sector/) is broken.

I personally enjoy references in ship names. I’ve personally seen a cargo ship by the name Ken Ryu (yay street fighter reference). I think that this tradition will hold into the future, and will only grow in diversity as more private and company owned vessels ply the stars.

it be interesting to see a galactic map including all known systems and it would be cool to hear about earth a little. one thing i loved about the whole series is that there are no aliens in it no green guys or slugs or all that and i love the use of heavy worlder and the difference in people instead of beings. oh and is there and race specific planets like the japanese have there own place and maybe sweds and all that.

Out of curiosity where is the Western annex in relation to old Earth?

I like hearing familiar names crop up in the stories. It brings a smile to my face.
Plus, I have a little game I play with myself, how many references I can recognize. I start on the assumption that every ship, planet and person is a reference, and see how many I recognize.
I like that all of the tractor ships are heroes from the Trojan war. On both sides.

I worry about that all the time. These last two books have been just FILLED with ‘em.

Some of the names you wouldn’t recognize, but others are obvious. I wonder if one reason that they don’t jump out is that I use so MANY of them

OFten times when I hear the names of people I know used in a fictional setting, like you have…Sigler, Welliver, Ellis, Jett, Baddings, and more, it shakes me out of the story. But for some reason, it’s never happened with the Traders Tales. Yeah, I smile at the name/reference, but it just flows by like any other. I’m not sure if it’s your writing or your delivery in the audio, but regardless it’s your doing. So, nice work and keep it up!

Nate,
I love the idea of a space merchant marine. I have friends who serve on Great Lakes ships and their “sea stories” run in similar paths. It is nice to see something other than star trek or star wars line of thinking. You have a wonderful voice combined with an extremely well written story. Please give us many more.
Thanks
Merritt
PS Cant wait for Captains Share and it’s sequel Owners Share
