Double Share, by Nathan Lowell. Fourth in the series. The first three books saw Ishmael Wang on his first ship, which was a really great place. Then we had a time-skip for him to attend the officer’s academy, and now he’s Third Mate on a very different merchant ship, where the crew and its practices are serious dysfunctional. Can Ish use his past experience, people skills, and wits to help fix things? This one was rather less “Mary Sue” than the previous ones – he’s no longer the best at everything he tries, and he certainly doesn’t solve the ship’s problems single-handedly. I found it quite enjoyable and well-plotted.
