KCR: Kris Longknife, Resolute (novel, scifi, adventure)

Kris Longknife series by Mike Shepherd is a longstanding series where Princess Kris Longknife goes on various adventures around the universe, fighting pirates, slavers, other bad guys, and occasional fights against the Peterwald worlds. It's pretty much an adventure novel that has a lot of irreverent dialog.

In Resolute, Kris was shuffled off to a corner of the universe and given an independent command to the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, trouble seems to follow her everywhere. The planet don't like her. The station was a ghost town. A pirate ship was caught mucking with jump point buoys. Chasing that down lead to a discovery that have serious implications for the whole sector...

Resolute is an adventure novel that usually have a few twists that is kept things light and humorous for the most part. The crew banter with each other. If you prefer a serious crew, read the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. This crew jokes and joshes with each other, with plenty of eyerolling. All of the crew seem to have secrets. The "maid" appears to be more of a bodyguard and tech whiz. The exec used to run the secret service detail (read: body guard). It's just a much lighter style.

Is it worth reading? Sure, give it a try.
