Description
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 just one hope — to enlist for two years with a deep-space commercial freighter. Ishmael, who has only rarely visited the Neris Orbital and has never been off-planet alone before, 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 clipper, as she sets solar sails in search of profit for her company and for a crew, each entitled to a share equal to their rating.
The Golden Age of Sail has returned — in the year 2352.
