Knowing what she does about the race, Kris will have to escape Madigan's Rainbow to find out what is going on. She returns to Wardhave where she and Jack are reunited. With every law agency on the planet after her, Kris and Jack are barely able to keep one step ahead as they try to contact her Grampa. When they nearly die in an attempt to see her Grampa Longknife, she, Kris decides to turn herself over to the government of Musashi.

Even with the prospect of a trial, she is safer there than many other places. With Nelly and her children unable to connect to the net and all her accounts frozen, Kris is forced to throw herself on the mercy of the government.

It turns out that Kris has more friends on Musashi than she knew. Even with the assassination attempts, with Jack by her side, Kris is able to offer proof of her assertions of the warlike mentality of the new race they encountered.

Cleared of all charges, Kris sets out to stop Grampa Longknife's fleet and to find out what happened to the planet they saved.

Fabulously written and frenetically paced, the Kris Longknife series is one of the best in science fiction. Each book is complete but ends with a major cliff hanger making it hard to wait for the next entry. KRIS LONGKNIFE:FURIOUS has some especially poignant moments as Kris is forced to tell the accounts of what happened to many people. I'll be waiting with bated breath for the next book.
