Jan 31, 2016: There were a number of things I enjoyed about reading this series. We follow the crew of a trader starship, the Whisper, and its crew. I enjoyed getting to know the crew and the captain, Amanpreet, but one of the most fun things for me was the author’s creativity in the alien species she weaves into the tale. I really enjoyed the way she revealed the details of each group’s appearance, climate requirements, and outlooks, and I had fun getting to know these people from such alien societies.
