Donnan:
ranch kid;
tramp;
merchant seaman;
engineering degree;
jobs around Earth;
a few investments;
friendship with a Senator;
assignment to the first American interstellar spaceship;
studying extra-solar mechanical techniques;
visits to twelve planets in four civilization-clusters;
beginning of a sketch of the galaxy;
takes over the Franklin when its crew goes to pieces...
That is the end of Chapter 3 and a good place to stop for the night. Chapter 4 introduces the all-women European ship, the Europa.
Other reading:
finished Maugham's Avenden;
starting the tenth Inspector Morse novel.
As my friend, Andrea, said, I want to be around to see what happens next.

Kaor, Paul!
Carl Donnan has all the makings of being an all around competent man, being exactly what an Andersonian hero should be. Albeit Anderson also created characters who were un-heroic.
