Kris Longknife Among the Kicking Birds

In Kris Longknife - Unrelenting, Kris's meeting with the Ostriches was covered in a single paragraph. Well, here's the full skinny. How does a woman who remembers all too well how her ancestors were relieved of their land somehow arrange a fair deal to get her production workers? Sailors and Marines not only a stake in the planet they're defending, but some place to blow off steam? How did it happen that, again, Kris gets shot at, and finally, How does Kris keep the Kicking Birds from killing each other?

Just another fun day in the Navy if you're Kris Longknife.
