In his first assignment as an officer, Ishmael Horatio Wang finds himself fresh out of school, wet behind the ears, and way out of his depth. Aboard the William Tinker the senior officers are derelict and abusive, the crew demoralized and undisciplined, and change unwelcomed and dangerous. Can Horatio use what he learned aboard the Lois McKendrick to help the crew find the ship’s heart? Or will he discover that bucking the system may come at too high a price? Return to the Deep Dark with Ish in this fourth installment of the award winning Solar Clipper Series as he makes the transition from crew to officer.

Liked it more than last read through

5 stars

I liked this book more this read-through than the last, I think the reason why I have always marked this book down a bit is that it's a very harsh break from Full Share, which still is one of my favourites in the series, while reading this one I just can't help missing the characters from the last book and kind of be sad that they aren't in this one. It's also early in the next cycle, so you don't really have any other characters that you really have learnt to love, but the book is good, just a bit more harsh than the other ones, since this one has more of a traditional villain to it rather than being just more slice of life.

A weaker one of the series, but getting better as it's going

4 stars

I do like this one quite a bit, but it's one of the lesser ones in the series I feel, the change from the first three is quite jarring, but still really enjoyable.
