Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of engineering officer jobs, until, at the graduation party, a classmate turned up dead. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation...and any semblance of civilized society.

With a damaged second-hand ship and TIC interceptors dogging her step, she nets a smuggling contract that might just get her back on her feet and in control of her destiny. But only if she's willing to make an ore run back to the place she's wanted for murder, and into the arms of the authorities...who somehow know she's coming.

Written in Nathan Lowell's popular Trader's Tales and Seeker's Tales universe.

Absolutely love the Nathan Lowell books. I have read almost all of them and am hoping for more audible books soon.

Love these

I’m not crazy about the narration from this book. Every time she does a male voice, it sounds like a child’s imitation of a big grownup. Otherwise I really like this version of the future.
Maybe you will feel differently about this one but you can probably skip it if you have already listen to the original series of books. Nothing new and worse narration.

Meh

Another great story. This backstory starts to bring the stories of the series universe together wonderfully. Looking forward to the next two audio versions of the books in this series.

I fell in love with Nathan Lowell, and the narrator Jeffrey Kafer, in the series A Trader's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper and the series A Seeker's Tale from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper. I was captured in about 5 minutes and couldn't put the books down. I'm not sure how much of this love was the stories and writing and how much was the delivery.

When I started the Smuggler's Tales From The Golden Age Of The Solar Clipper Series I was initially taken out of the story with the realization of a different narrator. It made sense that this series would be in a 'different' voice as it was about adventures with different characters. However, I struggled to understand the story when the previous characters voiced by Jeffrey sounded different. I really connect the actor's voices to the characters I'm hearing.

All of that said my biggest issue with the reading of this book is the amount of sniffing and breathing that is recorded by the narrator and not removed by the editor. It sounds as if the narrator is constantly running out of air and unable to complete thoughts and sentences without air noises. Honestly, it sounds like 3 people coming out of the bathroom having just done a pile of cocaine.

I would think that the narrator would do a better job of trimming their own recordings before sending them to the editor. I am assuming that this is recorded in a home studio with just the narrator and not done in an environment where there is an additional engineer present during the recording.

I would then think the editor would actually listen to the recordings and clean up the audio track before approving the sale of an item.

I hope that the other books in this series aren't as breathy as this one.

Why the different Narrator
