Teaser Tuesday, November 20, 2012

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: 

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers.

My Teaser this week is from   Furious,  Kris Longknife # 10 by Mike Shepherd.
I finished the book yesterday and loved it.  It is a little different from previous books as there are no big space battles.  Kris and Jack do finally get together, at least for a little while.  It is a bridge novel between book 9 and what will be book 10 so hold on for more action.

Page 67 - "The Yellow Comet of the Comet lines.  Her captain, Sam Tidings, owes you.  You rescued his daughter."  

Here is the Goodreads summary:

Having used unorthodox methods to save a world—and every sentient being on it—Lieutenant Commander Kris Longknife is wanted across the galaxy for crimes against humanity. For her own safety, she’s been assigned to a backwater planet where her Fast Patrol Squadron 127 enforces immigration control and smuggler interdiction.

But Kris is a Longknife, and nothing can stop her from getting back to the center of things—not when all hell is breaking loose. Now she’s on the run, hunted by both military and civilian authorities—and since the civilian authorities happen to be her immediate family, Kris soon finds herself homeless, broke, and on trial for her life on an alien world.
