If you haven"t read any other kris longknife adventure you hsve nisssed out on a great series. This one can stand alone, but be sure to go back and read the previous ones so that you will be up to date before resading the next one. I find I can't stop reading any book in this series once I start.

An unexpected forced convalescence has allowed to pick up on my reading of my favorite space opera series.

I like how Kris Longknife's character is maturing and learning. In this book I also like that Kris is not necessarily the focus of the assassination attempt. It is also nice to see at least one planet where Kris is welcome to come back, unlike many others were she is persona non grata.

Lots of politics in this book and the action does not start until about the middle of the book where stuff finally starts blowing up and the Marines demonstrate just how non-deadly they can be (a rarity for Marines in my experiences).

As usual Kris gets stuck in the middle, and nearly dies because she ditched her protection detail. But if she hadn't ditched her protection detail, then most of them would have died because they were not wearing armor unlike Kris.

Some really stupid business choices in this book as well. A whole planet that refuses to build a space station, because that would allow other ships to dock and open trade and competition for goods on the planet. Ignoring a market out of spite is not sound business principles, but then neither is blowing up the opposition.

This book is not as fast paced as some of the others in this series but it still leaves you wishing for the next one.
