Publisher's Summary
What if we sent freighters instead of frigates?
In a universe run by corporations, where profit matters more than life, how can an orphan with no skills, no money, and no prospects survive?
When Ishmael Wang's mother dies in a senseless accident, he's given a choice: leave the planet on his own, or the company will remove him. To avoid deportation Ishmael finds work as a mess deck attendant on an interstellar freighter.
Find out what Ishmael must do to earn his Quarter Share.

Different SciFi more life on a starship.
I liked it no action but it's a person building a career on a ship (which could just as easily been a age of sail setting). mostly it's about the personalities and habits of living there onboard. No blasters fights the action was trade based still interesting and enjoyable I will read the next one.

No conflict occurs
This book was okay, but there was no conflict at all. The protagonist, Ishmael, has to join a ship after his mother’s death and throws himself into learning everything he can about all of the jobs on board in the hopes of discovering what he wants to specialise in. He is a total Mary Sue - good at everything he does, impresses captain and crew at every turn, and helps his friend and the entire crew build up a lucrative trading scheme. That’s literally all that happens. There are no set-backs, no personnel conflict with crew or on stations, no disaster that puts Ishmael’s new knowledge and skills to the test. There’s LOTS of detail about what goods are worth and their price to space ratio. I listened to an hour of the next book that previewed at the and and it seemed like more of the same. It wasn’t badly written prose-wise, but since NOTHING happens, I found it pretty meh. I don’t think I’ll be picking up the second book in this series.
