Yes.
Now that we got that over with, yes, it’s the end of the Shares. It’s probably not the end of Ishmael Wang. I’ve had a couple of emails about not ending the series and I want to assure you that this series *must* end. It’s the last of the share levels. I can’t write another Share book.
What I can do is start another series. I can fill in the places where there are gaps. I have a whole universe of other stories to tell, some of which will have Ishmael Wang in them, I’m pretty sure.
I’d like to ask you to wait until you see what the ending of this series actually is before getting too upset.
After it’s over, you’ll have plenty of time to be peeved with me. :)
Now, fresh comment thread available. 26 should be up in the morning. Some of you will be cheering when it’s over.
Her name is Liberty, she is my tall ship for which I need the star…damn Article 37. Plot and structure you say. Damn Article 37.
I won`t even try to figure out whats coming in the next 2 episodes.
ARTICLE 37!!!!
I didn’t see that Article 37 coming, not even with the bit (OK, more than a bit in hindsight) of Article 37 that was injected to give us a hint.
I finished listening an hour ago and I am still in shock over *Article 37*. I think he is going to need two new *Article 37* not just one.
Article 37!!!
why in the name of L. Bob Rife, Did you Article 37 , Article 37. Now we get to see the Article 37 of article 37. and why. since article 37 is going to article 37.
Though Article 37 seemed too convenient for article 37 to article 37.
ok. frigin box of kleenex for the article 37. WHY!!!! ok i need 29 earlier in the day or I may never get to sleep.
article 37 Is putting way too fine a point on how I feel about this story. Why even bother putting article 37 back in the story in the first damn place!!
WTF Article 37 I can not beleave you did that. I know i should have listened to the last 3 episode at the same time.
P.S. are there other Listeners in Nova Scotia Canada
Holy %#%&* Damn article 37 Need to Find article 37 for airlock testing while in the deep dark
Quite unexpected; now we definitely need the next two to close the arc out. I wonder just where you will leave things, Nathan…
On technical and artistic merit: well done.
Patrick
I am with you on this
@ Patrick
Im with you on that as well!
Nate, How could you? — You have my husband pacing around the room and I am sitting here crying. NOT Happy!
I am speechless, even without article 37. My wife has been mumbling something about authors, air locks and long walks home :)
I don’t know what to say other than article 37!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to be alone for awhile and breath or maybe do some Tai chi.
Please hurry with the next 2 chapters. I thought as the chapters where coming out 1 a day that it would be interesting to see what it would be like waiting for my next fix. I don’t like it!
With all of the love and respect i can summon, Please Hurry.
Help me Nathan Lowell. Your our only hope.
Oh man, I hope it end with a nice ending after that. Could this be the worse and best episode? Dang
Pitchforks…Check
Torches…Check
Fire Starters…Check
Mob…Check
Mob Scene in five, four, three, two, one…”There he is!”
Dammit!
Why do your audiences hearts have to be between you and the numerous awards you so clearly crave and deserve? You’re like Joss Whedons dark spawn, you know that right?
This is why I prefer to wait until a series is finished before I even start it. Damn Article 37!
Nate, you are evil. You are a very bad person. Wow… Article 37. What a twist… More, please.
I’m honestly stunned by article 37, and this comes from someone who figured out Sixth Sense in the first 10 minutes. The threads, the threads interwoven… By then end of article 37 I half expected Kurt to be involved just because I was so far off balance. Very well done.
You BASTARD! All the great novels make me angry with the author. Article 37…..sigh……is to painful to listen to again. I relistened to Ep: 27 because it made me feel so good. You BASTARD.
{small font and a whisper} keep up the great work.
Article 37 SUCKS
I am lighting my torch and running to catch the mob.
Huh… Wow… That was a big article 37!
I’d kinda suspected Article 37 (some parts of it, anyway) just from all the hoopla. But it does intrigue me where the story is now going, particularly with only a couple episodes left. Very interested to see how this all wraps up.
Thanks for keeping us on the edge of our seats these past few years. Looking forward to your future volumes!
DAMN Pirates
Nate could you please set up a pre-order for half share Hard Bound Limited Edition Copy (Ridan)
:P :P :P :P :P #article 37 * sniff…sniff* :P. Excellent story by the way. :P
RE: Article 37
Nate, you are insufferable!
do you ever think of the children?
book 1, book 5, and now this?
Nate, now i know YOU killed Wash
Warning do not listen to this episode while trying to sleep. I am so not going to be able to sleep to night after that ARTICLE 37 of a episode. Where is the angry mob going to gather before marching on Nate’s place? I bet ARTICLE 37 had some good news to tell ARTICLE 37 before this whole ARTICLE 37 happened. :( :( :( :( Who agrees with me that we should show Nate to an air lock so he can take his ARTICLE 37 and walk home with it. I here that it is a long walk home from the western annex to Earth.
@Nate: Will you be re-editing 28 to remove the warning from the beginning after 30 is released?
That would be good.
@ Duncan Hilchie
ARTICLE 37 opens the way for Ms. Malone?

@Duncan, don’t freak out. Nate just surprised us with that Article 37. Don’t need to space him.
!spoiler!
end of EP 30. Ish sails the last time after his fathers funeral, remembering hes Mather, wife, ARTICLE 37, father and all the others loves of his life and is never hired from again…
Nathan lowell giveth. Nathan lowell,taketh away. I for one will not be sleeping well tonight…sigh
@G, It appears you need some spelling classes or spell checker :)
@RickS
YEES aee DU
…
OT!
i am playing a web based game MMO sim game called Travian
http://www.travian.com/
looking for partners skype or email me iamg000 / iamg000@gmail.com
I have only this to say…. You Bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you mad a 40 year old man cry. Article 37 family for Ish it seems.
4 times thou, Article 37 seem to pop out in the beginning
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! Article 37!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Duncan I’m with you on the sleeping. I have to be up early and I don’t know how I’ll sleep now.
Nate, I sure hope the last two episodes are four hours apiece, because I don’t see how Ish can possibly be ready for a pleasant resolution in only an hour of episode time after ARTICLE 37. I don’t think *I* will be ready!!!! I wonder if you brought back ARTICLE 37 only for ARTICLE 37 to ARTICLE 37 so that Ish can move on from ARTICLE 37 to ARTICLE 37, but I don’t see how he can possibly be ready to move on from ARTICLE 37 by the end.
Please hurry with Episode 29? Also, thank you for not breaking up Episode 28 in the middle. We really would have come for you with torches and pitchforks if you’d made ARTICLE 37 into a cliffhanger!
All I have to say Nate is that if we have to wait until tomorrow night for 39, someone’s going to die… Most likely me, of boredom and nerves.
Damn you for making characters people care about!
And thank you for sharing your vision and people with us.
Article 37 was really surprising. I’m upset after it though. I think I have to go back to Episode 27 so I can feel good again. But I’m really excited to see where you are going with this. Love all your works!!!
The Mob is Full, there is a 4 hour wait time to enter the Mob Server. Please have your torch or pitchfork ready, when the Mob Server Opens. Do not keep hitting the refresh button as this may crash the Mob Server and no one will be happy.
@ jamming ????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Article 37 runs from mob pitch fork in the back down a corridor opens a door enters sh….. its an airlock the hatch won’t open the mob catches up have a nice long walk home
OUTER DOOR CYCLES OPEN
@G The Mob which is after Nate.
