Author Mike Sheperd brings us Kris Longnife's next adventure with Defiant. Kris's homeworld of Wordhaven is undergoing a temporary change in government and due to her actions she is stripped of her command of the fast patrol boat 109. But she isn't thrown in to the brig she is asked by her great-gradfather King Ray to go to a world out on the fringe of human space and hold the hand of a friend who fought with him in battle so many decades ago. She takes on the job and goes but while she is gone she learns that the Peterwalds are gunning for that planet as well in order to bring them into their own government. When Kris returns she finds out that there are six warships heading from the jump point right to her door step and she takes it upon herself to take command of the decommissioned Fast Patrol Boats and recruit others to help defend their planet. Then the race is on as the clock beings to countdown to the beginning of the battle. This is a great book and I'm looking forward to reading Kris' next adventure. I highly recommend this book and series to all science fiction fans.
