VICKY PETERWALD: TARGET is not my favorite of the Mike Shepherd Longknife series. A spin-off of fan-favorite Vicky Peterwald, it opens with Vicky lying about the alien invasion by the planet-looters while wearing an outfit that has a number of deliberate wardrobe malfunctions. We're also regularly informed that Vicky was trained in needlepoint and the Karma Sutra for both offense as well as defense. There's numerous sex scenes, Vicky killing someone during sex, repeated exchanging of disposable bodyguards/lovers, and one-dimensional shrewish villains. The series eventually picks up but this one feels like Mike momentarily reverted to being a fourteen-year-old boy when writing this. I continued the series and the sequels are much-much better.
