Science
Fiction/Space Opera
From
Goodreads:
In the New York Times bestselling Kris Longknife
novels, “fans of the Honor Harrington escapades will welcome the adventures of
another strong female in outer space starring in a thrill-a-page military space
opera” (Alternative Worlds).
The aliens attacking the planetary system of Alwa
are an enemy unlike any Admiral Kris Longknife has ever encountered before. She
doesn’t know who they are, only that they worship a being known as the
Enlightened One and are unafraid to sacrifice themselves against her fleet.
But Kris faces more than just the fanatical
behavior of an alien armada. A saboteur has infiltrated the military’s medical
facility and unleashed an epidemic that has spread throughout the fleet without
warning.
Seventy-two
career military women are down with something not even the aliens could do to
them—including Admiral Kris Longknife.
Once
again Kris is behind the eight ball.
The aliens are converging to wipe out life on Alwa and it is up to Kris
to stop them.
Unrelenting
is mostly a battle driven book.
Not just one battle either.
There are several before Alwa is safe for the moment. Most of the characters from the
previous book return. Don’t look
for a lot of character development.
Do look for a lot of action.
There
is a bit of a shocker. We see it
in the first sentence in the book.
“Admiral Kris Longknife bent over the toilet and explosively lost her
breakfast.”
What else could it be
but morning sickness? Oh! She is supposed to have a birth control
implant. Since she is not the only
one with an unexpected pregnancy it seems there is a problem.
Uurelenting
could be read as a stand-alone but is best if you have read the other 12 books.
