It has been a long time since a new Kris Longnife book came out. This book series was one of the first I picked up when I restarted my book reading some years ago. It is a good book that fits well in the series and it is also a change of scenery from the last books. Going from fighting aliens on the...

In theory, I don't like this kind of book: pro-military, supporting the idea of elite family dynasties that keep the rest of us safe, a thinly built universe with good guys and bad guys. In practice, it turned out to be a solidly written, entertaining adventure with moments of reflection on the chal...

I have to admit that it was a long time since I read the first couple of Kris Longknife books and my memory may be a bit hazy on those. However, I do think that this is one of the better books in the series. At least it is a “my cup of tea” kind of book.In this book Kris is pretty much in charge ins...

I has been over a year since I started this series by reading book 1 and I thought that I should give the series another shot. There's something about the writing style that makes the book a bit bland and I think at times boring. I liked Kris for the most parts, but I still don't like Tom however no...

I have to excuse myself before starting this review. My reviews are normally fairly short and I have never pretended to be a professional reviewer but I finished this book shortly before attending the funeral of a close family member back in Sweden and now it has taken me a few days before I got aro...

I really looked forward to starting this series, however what I expected and what I got unfortunately was not on par. The start was ok, but then it got dry and hard to keep focus. I liked the Olympia part, that was exciting. The rest after that was boring. I'm not sure I like Kris, she is hard to g...

This is definitely the best book yet in the Kris Longknife series. This is actually one of the first series of books that I started reading when I took up reading again after having purchased my first tablet. It is not the best series that I have read. As a matter of fact a few of the books have got...

I wanted very much for this to be better than it was. But while it was not bad, neither was it particularly good. It's a Big Mac of a space opera, a perfectly average, standard, processed serving delivering a pleasant if unexceptional taste but no nutritional value. Mike Shepherd seems to be trying ...
