I agree. Wow. I'm most of the way through "Half Share" and burning through them fast.
The level of detail is amazing, and the author has put a LOT of thought into the background.
The only problem I have so far with the stories as novels is they seem just a little too "Mary Sue." The main character, Ishmael, seems a little TOO good, and so far he has never run into any serious conflict or opposition. I keep waiting for him to really screw up and have to sweat to fix the mess and emerge sadder-but-wiser, but it has yet to happen.
That said, they are a very entertaining and enjoyable tour of a very 'Traveller-esque' setting, rife with little details that are begging to be swiped and grafted into a campaign.
