![]() ![]() And if you like seeing what young folk can do with “just a start” when given anything like a decent chance, against the backdrop of interstellar commerce–? But it’s better than starving, or debtors’ prison. ![]() It’s not much: He’s second assistant to the guy who runs the galley. ![]() Long story short the young man finds a last minute berth on an intersteller trader. He has 90 days, (slightly less when Neris takes its cut of the settlement) to find a job or a way off-planet. On the other hand, if you loved the Andre Norton Solar Queennovels, you might want to check out the story of the poor sap named Ishmael Wang (his parents were Academics: They do things like that.) who is about to head off to college when agents of the Neris Company, who own the planet, show up at his door to tell him his only parent has died in an accident. If you are the kind of guy who is triggered by a Dick Francis or Dave Freer story where guys (and gals) strive, succeed, and do interesting things. Now, you might be the kind of womyn who thrills to the moment when your Ultimate Victimhood forces the local authority to uphold your Polly Purebred awesomeness and come to your rescue. Even if your heart doesn’t thrill to the skiffy excitement of a bunch of asteroid-mined fun-gals bringing success and profit in the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper Series you won’t want to miss Quarter Share (Trader’s Tales book 1). ![]()
