Now let's see what happens if I paste it all in as a comment, since the html worked in my previous comment.

Captain's Share, by Nathan Lowell. We catch up with Ish after a 10-year time skip - he finally gets to become a captain, but he's assigned the worst ship in the merchant fleet. There's nothing wrong with the ship itself, but its crew is definitely problematic. We know he has fabulous people skills, though, and we've seen him learn a lot in the past 20 years. It takes a lot of work to overcome their problems - I especially enjoyed the part of the story where he takes a big gamble and then reconsiders. I appreciated that the author gave him a voice that matched his new stage of life, but I have to say that Ish was very lucky that none of the crew members had grievances against each other, which made his task of building a solid team a whole lot easier than it might have been.

(Note to heleninwales I just pasted this one from DW without removing the html, and you can see that my italics didn't work; I'm making this addition with html too ( ... )

That is weird. The HTML is working as it should in the comments but not in the original post using the new post-composing window. How frustrating!

And very strange, too. Well, I'm glad I did the experiment.
