Thanks once again, knowledgeable co-forumers. My cup indeed runneth over.

I'll include these in my growing list. I'm going to have a LOT of sea tales to fit in-between SciFi! Speaking of which, in conjunction with the topic at hand (now how the heck am I going to tie those two together???). Nathan Lowell, over on Podiobooks.com has a series of well written 'Trader Tales'. They feature Ishmael Horatio Wang as the protagonist and follow his adventures aboard various solar clippers. Well written, echo sea tales of old in a SciFi setting and talk about an author with a pleasant voice!

Cheers!

John
