OK, today's post is coming from Fukuko Airport in Japan. I'm on my way home from the ship.
Today's author & series is Nathan Lowell over at Trader's Diary.

He has a number of audio books out - Quarter Share, Half Share, Full Share. I've listened to the first book in the series - Quarter Share and liked it. It's available from a variety of sources and format. http://solarclipper.com/get-the-books/ One of the formats is free from podio.
While he apparently hasn't worked in the industry, he does seemed to have done some research and applied it to how his ships work, look and feel. The ship and crew feel like an age of sail merchant ship put into a high tech environment rather than like a Navy ship. The ranks are bit more formal than what I've personally seen, but not so far from what I remember from National Maritime Union contracts in the 1970s.
