Paraphrodite | 381 comments This is a prequel to the book #1 Mutineer of the Kris Longknife series. So I'm assuming this would be # 0.5

It's also the short story in the anthology Infinite Stars: Dark Frontiers

Cheers!

Chronologically the short story is an origins story and prequel to #1 so that's why I proposed 0.5 but publication it would be 18.5.

Liralen | 8224 comments Is the rest of the series page set chronologically? If so, 0.5 makes sense. (Order on series pages varies.) https://www.goodreads.com/series/4981...

Paraphrodite | 381 comments Yes. The Kris Longknife series is set chronologically so far, except for Boot Recruit. It appears he wrote that for the anthology and has now released it as a standalone.

FYI, the author has since written a few books on Kris Longknife's ancestors as part of his broader Society of Humanity universe. And also a spin-off Vicki Peterwald series.

But as far as I know, he's kept the chronological order.
