Ridan’s comments from the Fans of Nathan Lowell group.

Melissa,
Here is the link to the free podiobooks - I've only started "listening" to books and LOVE it. This is a really good podiobook to start with - Nathan has a charming voice that really adds to the experience of an alaready great book.

Usually there would be links on the website but we are behind on a few things and hope to have the website updated soon.

I'll start it off and say my favorite is QuarterShare - although I'm usually a sucker for the book which pulls me in first and it has a place of nostoligia for me.

I also really liked the jeopardy in Full Share both from the possiblity of Ish being sent ashore and finally having a catastrophe to deal with.

Then I think is Captain's Share - I really like the way Ish uses the talents that are uniquely his to turn around this ship.

Wondering which one is your favorite and why.

Welcome to the group Jim, I'm sure you'd like Nathan's books - they are highly addictive and I'm waithing anxiously for Owner's Share.

I found this GoodReads List Best Free Audiobooks and QuarterShare is only #13? Come on folks we can get it higher than that. Please come click on the list and vote.

The Golden Age of Sail has Returned—in the Year 2352

When his mother dies in a flitter crash, eighteen-year-old Ishmael Horatio Wang must find a job with the planet company or leave the system—and NerisCo isn't hiring. With credits running low, and prospects limited, he has one hope...to enlist for two years with a deep space commercial freighter. Ishmael only rarely visited the Neris Orbital and has never been off-planet alone before, but finds himself part of an eclectic crew sailing a deep space leviathan between the stars.

Join the crew of the SC Lois McKendrick, a Manchester built solar clipper as she sails the stars struggling to turn a profit for her company and a crew each entitled to a share equal to their rating.

Praise for Quarter Share
"Quarter Share is a love letter to science fiction, an authentic coming-of-age celebration of blue collar "lower decks" folk. Nathan Lowell tells a tale so real, you can practically smell the spaceship galley's coffee—and almost see the engine oil beneath your fingernails. Hero Ishmael is clearly destined for great things. Thankfully for readers, so is Nathan Lowell." — J.C. Hutchins, author of 7th Son: Descent and Personal Effects: Dark Art

A case of the hardcover limited editions has arrived in VA and signed copies will go out as soon as Nathan is in town to put his John Hancock on them (May 28th). Two more boxes are in process and should be arriving with Nathan soon. We'll post here as soon as the books start going into the post.

There will only be 250 copies of the limited edition version and they may be purchased ONLY from Ridan Publishing at THIS LINK

Susan.

Just wanted to update everyone on the status of the print books. Nathan received two large boxes of books which he quickly went through in 3 days from people rushing to order. Ridan has another 3 boxes in VA that will be signed with Nathan is in town for Balticon starting May 28th. There is also a new shipment on the way to Nathan's house but I think he'll be in Baltimore before they arrive so you may be receiving them from the Balticon stock.

We're working hard to get these out to you just as soon as possible. As a reminder you can put the most money in Nathan's pocket by buying direct (Amazon and bookstores take 40% - 55% off the top).

Ridan Offers Signed copies at a 20% discount at this link .
