It was a long wait for Nathan Lowell to recover his illness and continue the Ishmael Series which culminated in “Hard Knocks.” The story line has remained consistent since Ishmaels mother died in “Quarter Share” through the latest trilogy. I have enjoyed the characters and their development following Ishmael through his life. While waiting for the next phase I have re-read the whole series several times revisiting old friends. Dr. Lowell’s style of moving the plots along through the character’s interactions with dialog is excellent. There is just enough technical information available to allow understanding of the dangers of interstellar travel with out going down a “rabbit hole” of technical jargon.
The ending of each story is always interesting. There is an anticipation that there is more to come in every story. I vividly remember leaving the movie theater after Episode IV – “The New Hope” laughing with the knowledge that there was more to come. Likewise, I can see in my mind the story boards of Ishmael’s voyages spread across the silver screen. I am biased.
Great Reads.
