Kris Longknife Deserter Mike Shepherd Books

This mistitled but excitingly amusing second entry in the Kris Longknife series has Kris, now a pricess in addition to being a lieutenant-JG in the Navy, on a mission to the planet Turantic, which has been manipulated into lockdown by the villian of the piece, the delightfully named Calvin Sandfire. Kris, along with her bodyguard Jack, her very clever computer Nelly--who's been given some enhancement since her debut in "Mutineer"--and her new more-than-maid Abby have arrived there in order to attempt to rescue her pal Tom, who's been kidnapped.

They do this while Kris is on leave (she hasn't deserted) and soon finds herself engaged in espionage and sabotage--political and industrial--as well as doing her navy thing. She's fitted out (by Abby) with some cool secret-agent style gadgetry and dons a number of disguises along the way. It's all done very tongue-in-cheek, especially when Kris does her princess thing (she's learned the "Royal We" from romantic novels), and you'll probably have more than a few chuckles as you romp through the book.

Notes and asides: I'm not one to engage in a game of "hunt the typos," but when the name of Kris's brother is spelled "Eddie" two lines below it's spelled "Eddy," I cannot fail to notice. Also I should probably mention--in case you didn't read the comments of a previous reviewer--that on page 19 Kris realizes she's never seen a 15-digit phone number before. She still hasn't: the number shown on the page just above has 14 digits.

Kris Longknife Deserter Mike Shepherd Books Reviews

Most of the time this bunch sounded like a group of teenagers planning mischievous behavior, I know its fiction but get a little more serious.
I bought this one because I thought the 1st one was decent and some of the reviews warned me but i gave it a try anyway. Hope the rest are better.
I liked the 1st (yes I know I said I loved it) but this one was better and I don't know for sure but I just get this feeling that I am going to like / love the next one to - hmmm kinda strange that.
In this second book of the Kris Longknife series, a fast-moving plot serves as a vehicle to introduce a selection of new characters (most of whom, I have no doubt, will reappear as the series progresses). This is not a space opera book so much as a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse between Kris (the mouse with teeth) and her adversary. Well aware that she is stepping into a trap, she does it anyway to save a friend, and ends up in the middle of the sort of adventure that her family is famous for.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, despite the sometimes sloppy copy editing. I look forward to more of the same, as this series continues.
Fun. I bought the whole series. There are some typos. The earlier, professionally-edited books from the publisher are substantially better than the self-published works.
I am hooked on this series as it is extremely interesting . I enjoyed the pace and actions you all might want to look out in this action packed universe a crafty princess is lose and determined to lookout for the little guy. I can't wait to get to next novel. Thanks for an interesting read Mike Sheppard.
Very Solid work for the start of a series. One that stands well within the ranks of the best Mil-SciFi has. Tighter writing than Weber, more personal than Ringo. Hits the spot for those wanting more of the plucky female heroine! Thanks Mike!
Enjoyable. Addictive story. I enjoy the combination of action and humor. The characters' wise cracks throughout add an essential thread to the complex tapestry that these stories weave. I intend on continuing to read the series, but at a slow pace due to the pricy cost of the ebooks.
