About this listen
An inexperienced officer. A dysfunctional ship. Life in the Deep Dark just got a whole lot harder.
In his first assignment as an officer, Ishmael Horatio Wang finds himself fresh out of school, wet behind the ears, and way out of his depth. Aboard the William Tinker the senior officers are derelict and abusive, the crew demoralized and undisciplined, and change unwelcomed and dangerous. Can Ishmael use what he learned aboard the Lois McKendrick to help the crew find the ship's heart? Or will he discover that bucking the system may come at too high a price? Return to the Deep Dark with Ish in this fourth installment of the award-winning Solar Clipper series, as he makes the transition from crew to officer.

However, in his inimitable way, Ishmael seems to deal with everything that is thrown at him in the manner of a man twice his age.
One of the best series I have listened to

Although I enjoyed the previous books, I felt there was a lack of natural human conflict. Wang seemed incredibly lucky and talented. Nathan Lowell made up for it in this book by having real nasty pieces of work on a difficult ship.
Wong's solutions would not have been mine. But for the purposes of this story his optimistic team building works. Very Ted Lasso. His luck doesn't fail him. Everybody likes him by the end.
I think, despite its faults, this is one of the stronger stories of the series. The facts that it addressed workplace bullying and sexual predators long before me-too is to the wtiter's credit. I found myself thinking how I might solve the problems light years from help.
Edgy staff issues in outer space

I still Iadmit I wasn't sure on this one, after the last book had such a sad undertone. And for it being so many years after the academy... but I was pleasantly surprised, this was in fact much better than I'd thought.
I do think you do have to suspend your disbelief a little over the fact that there really was no way to get rid of the Captain of the Tinker in the 5 years he'd been running it into the ground. But, the journey that Ish goes through while asserting his place on the ship and within ranks of the crew is really good, really trying for him, but good for us. He's almost a little bit too good to be true, you know good looks, smart, and just knows everything about everything. I am really waiting for him to come up against something that he really doesn't know how to fix, not just to seemingly do everything right all the time.
Still this novel had a lot of fun, a lot of sad situations though, the fact that the guys on the Tinker thought most of the women were there just to be used, did grate against my skin a lot. Glad it was soon starting to stop though because of Ish and his harem.
Nice work to both Jeffery Kafer and Nathan Lowell and I think as I've said on the other series I'm waiting on hurry up and hit publish on the next :)
Just Awesome.

This is a great story set in the golden age of sail, urm, solar clippers? The protagonist is totally clueless, yet completely brilliant and thrown straight into a terrible situation which looks to be completely out of his control to do anything about. And I'm not just talking about the fact that the coffee tastes just like burnt engine oil...
Great story, terrible narration

What made the experience of listening to Double Share the most enjoyable?
The out come where the bullies get there comeuppance, plus I didn't expect the ending.What other book might you compare Double Share to, and why?
I can't say that I have read/listened too another story line the same as this, it is a good heartening storey line, because there are no aliens trying to wipeout man kind.Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Jeffrey Käfer makes the storey come alive, he is one of the narrators that I look for when purchasing a book, because he never does a bad one.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Sail to the ends of the universe.Any additional comments?
Yes, hurry up with the next book please.A really good listen
