Hard Knocks (SC Marva Collins, #3)

Nice end to the Marva Collins series
No encounters with aliens, no space battles, no explosions— instead, the (apparently) last book in a series about interstellar trade and commerce.
And curiously enough, the series is worth reading. It starts when Ishmael Wang first gets a job on a interstellar cargo ship as the most junior of crew, and follows his career as he climbs the career ladder to become a ship’s captain, with the trials and tribulations expected in such a life, plus some others that do involve high risks and danger.
Begin with ‘Quarter Share’. There are some dozen other books in the series, plus at least three others in the same universe. Arguably they represent something far closer to what “real life” might be like three centuries from now than most sci-fi attempts, with people working for a living vice just moving from one high adrenalin adventure to another.
