About this listen

Grand Admiral Kris Longknife is rampaging across the stars, kicking butt and taking planets away from the Iteeche rebels. She asks her grandparents, Gramma and Grampa Trouble, to came out to spend time with Kris' kids while she is gone.

Meanwhile, back on the Iteeche Imperial Capitol planet, intrigue and power plays continue. Within 50 kilometers of the Imperial Palace are a dozen clan factions that dream of seizing the purple from the hand of the young emperor.

The Human Embassy once more comes under siege. This time, however, the entire Legation District, all 36 blocks and three million Iteeche, must be protected.

Meanwhile, the kids are left on their own. Sneaky parents should not be surprised to discover that their kids are just as sly as they are.

Before too long, Little Ruth and Johnny, along with 30 of their Human and Iteeche friends, are in way over their heads.

Can Little Ruth keep her friends alive long enough for Gramma Trouble to race to their rescue.

Can Ruth, not yet eight, learn the hard lesson of being a Longknife?

This action-packed adventure of just under 100,000 words is a great parallel story for Kris Longknife Stalwart that shows just what measures need to be taken to keep the home fires burning, because Longknifes do what they have to do...no matter the cost.

Disappointing, predictable, and boring

I’ve read the entire Longknife series and was excited to see a new addition. Unfortunately, while Dina P did a reasonable job of reading, the story was poor. Maybe ok for a kid’s book but not at all for an adult. The story was slow and painfully predictable. I was actually bored! That’s it for me if that’s what to expect from new books in the series.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
