Kris Longknife: Mutineer by Mike Shepherd

Finished on or about 25 Feb

This is the first of the Kris Longknife books and not very different from the two later ones which I have read. Good basic space opera. Having read the later books gave me a little insight into this one - if it is possible to have insight into something no deeper than these. At least, I knew when Jack Montoya appeared to be her bodyguard that he was destined to be around for a long time - since the don't fall into each other's arms until about book fifteen.

There was no jump point disaster in this one, and the situation which causes Kris to lead a mutiny was slightly different from the books I have previously read. I do still have a great deal of trouble telling the good guys from the bad guys; the politics are pretty jumbled - maybe a reflection of politics today which has made the two principal political parties virtually indistinguishable.
