I’m so happy to be able to post Kris Longknife: Stalwart for pre-sale! Look for it over the next few days from Amazon and your other favorite eBook retailers.
Here is the temporary cover and the ad copy:
The foolish Iteeche clans that hauled Grand Admiral Kris Longknife back to the Iteeche Capital and interrupted her campaign against the rebels, are dead. Very dead. Their clans are disgraced and their palaces in ruin.
However, while Kris was
handling that noise, the rebels took back one of the planets she had
recently captured, Arteccia, and are planning to take more. Now it’s
time once more again for Kris to kick butts and take names.
However, life is never easy for a Human in the Iteeche Empire.
The Clan Chiefs expect Kris to retake what the rebels took from the loyalists because that is the Iteeche Way. That is a tune she will not dance to. So, the Clan Chiefs play their ace: Do what we want, or we won’t give you command of our ships.
To their consternation,
Kris does not give in. She gives them a literal middle digit salute and
invites every minor clan to join the fun and games of capturing planets
and gaining plunder.
Not surprisingly, the rebels have used their
time well and they have their own plans for Kris, plans that should
leave her fleet in ruins and the young Iteeche on the throne dead.
Unfortunately for them, their plans can’t really hold back Grand Admiral, the Stalwart Kris Longknife.
Note to Readers: Stalwart is the longest Kris Longknife book yet, with approximately 155,000 words. This is half-again longer than the books I wrote for ACE 20 years ago. Consequently, the price has increased by $1 for the ebook – $7.99 up from $6.99.
Those of you lovely readers that love to blow through my books in one night might want to allow for two, or a weekend. Also, we also have acquired the services of an outstanding artist, Lee Moyer, for our covers. All your pre-orders will have the final cover in early December for purchase!
