Science Fiction/Space Opera
From Goodreads:
There’s
no rest for a Longknife—even if you’re a newlywed. Vice Admiral Kris
Longknife’s honeymoon gets cancelled when she hears that the space raider’s
home world may have been discovered. Finding where the raiders came from could
be the key to saving humanity. If only uncovering their secrets was that easy…
As Kris returns home, she ends up
tangling with a mutinous crew determined to take off on their own. The
dissident group leads Kris straight into a new mess—a system filled with
strange, deadly enemies poised to wipe another sentient civilization out of
existence. Kris and her squadron are ready to prevent total annihilation, but
the mutineers have other plans.
Once again Shepherd has put Kris in
more than one dangerous situation.
You would think this would get old but each time there is a new twist
and Kris and crew have to find a way to keep everyone alive and ready for the
next challenge.
I love the characters in the
Longknife series. Nelly the
computer keeps everyone in line even as she develops a more human
personality. Kris and Jack are
very much newlyweds. Their sex
life is portrayed the old fashion way.
You know it is going to happen and then you know it has happened but you
don’t have to witness the event.
Thank you Mike Shepherd.
There is a new alien race and this is one I really love. They are descended from felines and
women rule the world. For cat
lovers like me they are a big hit.
Some things are solved; some things
are still hanging so there will be more of Kris and her crew. According to the note at the end of the
book Kris Longknife: Relentless is already being written.
I love the series the next book
will go on pre-0rder as have all the rest.
ACE published Kris Longknife:Tenacious by Mike Shepherd in 2014.
