Kris Longknife's Successor

Admiral Santiago, Book 3

By: Mike Shepherd

Narrated by: Vanessa Chambers

This is the third title with Grand Admiral Sandy Santiago serving as Kris Longknife's relief, then replacement, and now successor on Alwa.

Grand Admiral Santiago has all the challenges for which a gal could ask. Granny Rita is on the rampage, and the cats have gone on strike. Leaving the Colonials to deal with Granny Rita, Sandy heads off to work with the cats, only to discover she is not the only one who has a bone to pick with them - alien monsters have a vendetta as well!

It's all in a day's work for someone who is Kris Longknife's successor.

A Fun Space Opera

Admiral Santiago is getting comfortable in her command of the Alwa Station. I have enjoyed the great variety of problems from space battles with an alien species, business conflicts to the huge problem of various alien species attempting to work together. And of course, there is Granny Rita. My favorite character is the ultra-smart computer, Nellie, and all her kids and now grandkids. Admiral Santiago has one of Nellie’s grandkids which she named Susie. Susie was getting smarter and smarter as Mitzie fine-tuned her matrix. The story ranges from high life and death drama to wise cracking humor.
This story is easy to read and a fun space opera. It sure makes a nice change from the serious reading I have been doing. I am looking forward to the next installment.

Vanessa Chambers does a good job narrating the book. Chambers is an actress and audiobook narrator.

Too much Kris Longknife

Again we have a story where Kris Longknife's name gets dropped a hundred times. At some point the characters have to be able to do things without something Kris Longknife has done before?
