Kris Longknife is a daughter of privilege, born to money and power. Her father is the Prime Minister of her home planet, her mother the consummate politicianโs wife. Sheโs been raised only to be beautiful and to marry well. But the heritage of the military Longknifes courses through Krisโs bloodโand, against her parentsโ objections, she enlists in the marines.

And then an ill-conceived attack brings the war close to home, putting Krisโs life on the line. Now she has only one choice: certain death on the front lines of rim spaceโor mutiny...
