A solid entry in the Longknife series. Kris is on a scientific expedition with a ship tricked out like warship. Naturally something has to go wrong. A battle to save a world of independent farmers and an assassination attempt against Henry Peterwald, her family's enemy to thwart are amongst the young princess/lieutenant's leadership challenges in this novel. Not his best in the series, but still a good solid read. I'm enjoying this series, but while the rest of the books focus on one place/one problem, this one has her and crew bouncing around dealing with several different ones. I think I prefer the one place/one problem focus better, this was just a little too bounce-around for my liking. On the positive side, the editing/typesetting errors were much fewer in this book, probably only a dozen or so. Looking forward to starting the next book tonight.
I really enjoyed this series and would recommend it to anyone who likes space adventure.

A quick, easy to read series that is a lot of fun, even if not terribly complex.
