She could have been the campaign manager for her brother's election like her father, the Prime Minister, wanted. She could have been the empty headed debutante her mother wanted. Instead, fresh out of college, Kris Longknife joined the Navy. Now she's associated with marines and rescuing a kidnapped little girl. She's delivered food to starving people on a rain-soaked planet. And just now, the skipper came on the bridge and announced they're going to war with Earth. Now what does she do?

Kris finally has the command she's wanted. The Wasp is clear to roam space beyond the rim and explore virgin territory. Except, other humans have gotten out there well before her, and the problems they're creating could plunge humanity into total war.

Ruthie Longknife is seven-months-old and enjoying her very first Christmas in the arms of Kris Longknife. She's got a sparkling tree to taste, a lot of presents under the tree, oh, and because she's a Longknife, uninvited guests for the Christmas goose. This is a short story of 6,800 words and says a lot about Longknife holiday family dynamics, including grumpy old Grampa Al. A must read for those of you who enjoy Kris's world.

They're mean, they're tough, they're highly trained and the whole platoon hope the sergeant can find someone to surrender them to.

All humanity on a hundred and fifty planets has gone to war. Some see it as a chance to make a killing in the market. Others know that the killing will be counted in billions of human lives. Mary and Mattim on one side of the battle line. Ray and Rita on the other. All looking for a way out that will let them live. If they can find it for themselves, they just might find it for all humanity.

Kris Longknife encounters some peaceful aliens who have come to warn humanity of an unidentifiable force that is roaming the galaxy, obliterating everything in its path-a path now leading directly toward the human worlds.

Princess Kris Longknife is Viceroy for the Royal US government to the aliens of Alwa. She commands a fleet and an industrial base, and the humans manning the ships and working the factories would like some vacation time. They'd also like a stake in the Alwa they are defending. So Kris finds herself approaching natives for land. Her Native American heritage balks at the thought of her trading a few beads for land, so she will handle these negotiations herself.

大尉に昇進したクリス・ロングナイフは、PF艦109の鑑長として、戦隊の機動訓練にはげんでいた。最新鋭のこの小型軽量艦は機動性の高い艦体に大型戦艦の主砲と同じ18インチ口径パルスレーザー砲を四門搭載していた。だが、この巨大砲を撃てるのは1回のみ。敵艦を撃破するには、編隊を組んで一撃必殺の戦法を取るしかないのだ。そんなおり、ウォードヘブン星で政変が勃発、父は首相の座を追われ、クリスも逮捕されるが!?熱血戦争SF。

Hurray, Peace is here! Hurray! And half the fleet is back in mothball. The other half is left to face the Drug Lords, Pirates, and Slavers out on the rim of space. And one Marine is having a particularly bad month. He's been captured by the slavers not once but twice, but the real problem is that both times, he woke up chained to the same attractive lady. And he's starting to like it.

Lieutenant Commander Kris Longknife has precise orders: seek out, engage, and destroy pirates, slavers, and drug lords operating beyond the rim of human space-without interfering in Peterwald family affairs. But when slavers kidnap a twelve-year-old girl, Kris's mission becomes personal. And if destroying the pirate compound flattens some Peterwald interests-well, to hell with politics.

You knew it had to happen sooner or later. Abby goes on strike. Of course, it took a lot to drive her to that extreme. Just saying.

一介の大尉でありながら、第41海軍管区司令官としてチャンス星系へとやってきたクリス・ロングナイフとその一行は、司令部である宇宙ステーションに到着して愕然とした。歓迎団どころか、ひとっこひとりいない! 動力反応炉も停止し、非常用電源で動いているだけ……。数ある海軍管区のなかでも最低の辺境星区に左遷されたわれらがプリンセスだが、それでも司令官としての職務を果たそうと持ち前の機知と財力で奮闘する!?
