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
