Nathan Lowell has been in the writing game for over forty years, stepping into the spotlight by podcasting his novels. His sci-fi masterpiece, The Golden Age of the Solar Clipper, was born from his mild obsession with space opera and a little background experience in the United States Coast Guard. Don’t expect the usual flashy heroes traipsing around with their grand destinies here; Lowell focuses on the everyday folks hustling in the cosmic grind—normal people just trying to pay the bills in the great expanse of space. Forget about bug-eyed monsters and epic space battles; his books offer a refreshingly realistic vibe, showcasing how a protagonist can actually get ahead through hard work and street smarts, improving the lives of those around them
