listen and marvel
Begin here and get your ratings along with Ish as he crosses many boundries in his private and public life. It sounds corny, but once you start, you won't be able to put it down. Nathan Lowell imagines a detailed ship-board life.
Unbelievably good
The story and characters are great. The story drew me right in. I recommend it highly to all.
