I almost gave this a one star rating. The beginning is a maddening collection of repeated conversations that feel like utter filler. The story at least picks up gradually as as it develops until reaching a crescendo of action that ultimately falls flat, and finally peters out to a weak conclusion. With a host of loose ends dangling, the last chapter is confusing and terribly unsatisfying. Honestly, I feel cheated; as an end to a series it leaves easily a dozen questions unanswered and any promise of closure and completion thoroughly unfulfilled. Not just a disappointment, but a calamitous failure. I'm almost angry that I wasted the time reading it.Product details

...But it certainly isn't me. I quite enjoyed all of the books leading up to this was and was supremely disappointed in the direction the series was taken. I respect the author and I understand that this is where he wanted to take the story, but it could have been much smoother. The writing style changes regularly and as others noted it is definitely choppy.
I would look forward to reading more stories along this plotline, but I have given up hope on the main character every being happy with anything. It feels like Mr. Lowell was writing without a plotline or storyboard and just made huge plot twists from nowhere as he went along, and seemingly for purely shock value. Trivial delays also extended the length of the book without any bearing on the story. I would list them but I would rather not spoil the story for anybody who might enjoy it.
Overall I would give the entire series 4 stars, it would be 5 if not for this final book. It was entertaining, but the final book made me feel like I wasted my time when I finished. I had to step back and evaluate them all on their own before posting this review.
I liked the first 98%, but an unexpected death of an important crew member late in the book just seemed needlessly cruel, both to the characters and us readers. I fail to see his reason for ending the series so painfully. What really confuses me is the death didn't add anything to the plot or character development. Those last few pages could have worked to the same story conclusion without it, only Ishmael would have been happy instead of grieving.
Why, Mr. Lowell? I read your work to escape reality but now I'm sitting here brooding over the possibility that my own beloved wife could be killed as mere collateral damage to a pointless act of violence. Why end an optimistic six-book series by leaving me feeling helpless and angry? He has made it harder for me to buy more of his books. I'm going to have to check the reviews carefully from now on, because I feel like I was cheated here.
It has me honestly wondering if the author went through some personal tragedy while he was writing it.
I very much enjoyed reading the Golden Age of the Clipper series. It had it's ups and downs, and suffered some in the beginning from also being a podcast. Mostly just small things, like Hey! where'd the wife come from. For all that, Lowell is a gifted writer with the same talents as James Schmidt - he can write a ripping good yarn that does not have a bad guy. Rare thing that is. In some of this series he has many challenges, but little conflict.
Some of the weakest points are Ishmael's dealings with the opposite sex. Nothing in his background would have set him up to be a Casanova. Complete Mary Jane in that aspect.
But this is a space opera written small, and he's a ladies man, and the rest is good enough to pass these things by without much comment.
What these stories are not is another Indiana Jones. There is no constant action, the pace is leisurely. Which is a well crafted allegory for space travel. It, like travel in the Age of Sail, took quite a bit of time to go from point A to point B. This captures that atmosphere to perfection. What passes for action is interaction between characters. Long spells in between action scenes.
The series is a engaging a read as I have had in a while.
Okay, why the two stars? That is for this particular book. Many people are upset with a character's death, and the downbeat ending. That doesn't bother me. Many thing this is a great story. I think you're all wrong.
The bone I have to pick with this installment, and it is an installment, it's not the end of the story, is this deux machina. The person behind it all had no history of animosity to take physical action, and there was alternative ways to achieve his ends that fall with in his expertise and are legal if unethical. None of the groundwork was laid as to why this antagonist would try and kill someone. It seems out of character.
I have also seen this before in another space opera series.
Really what happened was inevitable if the story line were to go on. It's the how it happened. I can't recommend this particular book.
I almost gave this a one star rating. The beginning is a maddening collection of repeated conversations that feel like utter filler.
