I have read all the novels about Kate and was waiting for her to ( Danna ) to bring her back , I was disappointed as there was a disconnect from the last one that supposedly left Kate dead . I know people like to do new things but please for your older readers do not leave us hanging, I love your people and they seem like friends , so I miss them I will be 87 on July 4th and am hoping to see at least one more Kate book before I die. Sincerely Virginia

Less Than a Treason audiobook in series Kate Shugak Series

Some of Stabenow’s die-hard fans (including me) were puzzled by her last book, Bad Blood: after a good 20 solid stories about protagonist Kate Shugack, she seemed to have lost interest. Several (including me) accused her of “phoning it in,” although my feeling was that the book was connected with the almost-TV show about Kate that was in the works in Alaska for a time (it never happened, evidently, for unknown reasons). I had a feeling the book was largely a script for the show, but whatever it was, it was as if she hadn’t even written it, and it was lacking in the ‘flavor’ of these books about Alaska, a place where I lived for a number of years, and loved dearly. Stabenow’s books about Alaska were invariably spot on, filled with the essence of the peculiar and charming life on the Last Frontier. But Bad Blood was, simply, bad.

It seems that in this book, Less Than A Treason, she has set out to do what she does best, and what she is best known for: she has given us back Kate and Jim and potentially one other beloved character (no spoilers), and set the stage as she always has, with a host of friends and relationships who are as original and delightful as life in Alaska itself. The book begins on a rather uncertain note, instead of her usual authoritative storytelling, but by the end, it is back to business as usual, and ends in a very satisfying and reassuring way. Kate is back. We hope.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, at one, point, stopped writing the Sherlock books, presumably because he was tired of the character he’d created, yet due to public demand, he started again, and it seems that Stabenow has done the same. She dabbled for a time in other genres and locales, including science fiction, but Kate Shugak and Liam Campbell are her great successes, and while her fans continue to clamor for more of the same, after all: why not? What’s wrong with doing what one does best? It isn’t easy to be materially successful as an author, but she seems to have done just that, so rather than attempt what she doesn’t quite have the ability to do, why not improve on what she does best? She is a good writer, if not a great one, and she has given the world something meaningful. The new book is filled with the essence of modern Alaskan life; clearly she was still writing when the infamous 2016 election took place, she touches on the new availability of the internet in the Park, cell phones, and–God forbid–reality TV. At best, her writing is competent, and funny, her characters are endearing, causing the reader to become involved, and while I don’t know if she still lives in Alaska, she still “gets it.” You’d have to live there yourself to know what I mean (and I only lived there long enough to be a semi-cheechako), but it is like no other place, even now.

One last thing: perhaps her younger audience would protest, but as for this old lady, I could use a little less gratuitous and graphic sex (yes, I realize it sells), and perhaps a little less snot. Read the book: you’ll know what I mean, and you’ll probably also enjoy it and want to read the first 20+.

Audiobook Less Than a Treason by Dana Stabenow

First Sentence: The body had been found early on by a raven, that inevitable first responder to carcasses in the wild.

Kate Shugak may have gone missing from all her friends and those who love her, but she knows where she is. Unfortunately, she is found by a woman who wants her to find her missing husband. A geologist working for the Suulutaq Mine is known for going off on his own, but this time he has failed to keep a meeting with his wife.

Once past the first, relatively unnecessary chapter, the story begins with a dramatic and emotional opening which is an immediate pickup from the previous book. It also leaves one with more questions than answers, and an element of dread.

But then, we settle into an updating of the village and its residents. For series readers, all the favorite, and not so favorite, characters are here but one. For new readers, this is not the place to start as there are a lot of characters. Although some background on them is provided, it can become confusing.

Stabenow does provide wonderful descriptions—“A beautiful night, clear and cold, the Milky Way a smear of confectioner’s sugar, the moon and ethereal, almost translucent crescent.”

Kate is a character to be greatly admired. She is smart, strong, independent and self-reliant; almost too much so. But she inspires loyalty and respect from all who know her.

There are a lot of plot threads to follow as well. Trust the author. The threads do become whole cloth. Even so, it is a bit frustrating that the two major reunions for which waits are late into the book, one not until the very end.

“Less Than a Treason” builds well as the pieces fit together in the end. And what a perfect end it is.

Audio Less Than a Treason narrated by Marguerite Gavin

Glad to see Kate, Jim, Mutt, and all the other characters I’ve grown to know and love are back! It’s been a long wait since book 20.
The only reason I don’t give this 5 stars is that I really didn’t like the political content. There wasn’t much, but enough to throw me off the story track. For example, Jim wishing the Baby Boomers would all just up and die. I read these books to get AWAY from all the current political nastiness! There are some cases where politics does fit the story line, like Kate and her grandmother dealing with subsistence vs sport hunting issues in an earlier book. The additions this time weren’t really necessary to the story, they felt like add ins to let out the author’s personal frustrations. In my opinion, it detracted from the book.

This is a brilliant series, and one of my favourites, featuring the indomitable Aleut PI Kate Shugak set in the inhospitable and awe inspiring geography of Alaska. We return after the tense cliffhanger of the last book where Kate and her loyal half wolf dog, Mutt, were both shot by Ken Halvorsen. Chopper Jim, state trooper and Kate’s lover, in turn shoots Halvorsen dead before transporting Kate to hospital. Kate, in a bad way, discharges herself after surgery, with no-one aware where she has gone. A guilt ridden Jim quits his job, putting his energies to building a runway at the homestead and searching far and wide for Mutt, whose body has disappeared. All the familiar Park Rats return, the formidable Aunties, feeling vulnerable and griefstricken after losing one of their own, Bobby, Bernie, and the others, but Martin Shugak is missing and two unprepossessing strangers are looking for him. At The Roadhouse, Sylvia McDonald comes looking for her missing geologist husband, employed at the Suulutaq Mine, who takes his rock hammer in his wanders into the wilderness. What has happened to him?

There is a general shaking of heads and expressions of consternation amongst the Park Rats at the emergence of Willard and Katelnikof as reality TV stars earning a phenomenal amount for each episode. Old human bones are discovered on Kate’s isolated newly renovated cabin that she inherited from Sam, where she has poured her energies into recovering for 4 months. This is the impetus for Kate’s return as she takes on Sylvia as a client, a case that takes her to Anchorage as the bodies begin to pile up. There she bumps into an old foe, intent on encroaching on Kate’s territory and making his presence felt in Niviltna. Scott’s home now has a new owner, who is the surly and uncommunicative resident? Jim feels hurt that Kate has not come to meet him, and immerses himself in a search for Martin Shugak, who might be in grave danger and his hunt for a plane to purchase. The new acting State Trooper is inexperienced and ill equipped to fill Jim’s shoes, and budget cuts limit what law enforcement can do. Slowly the different threads begin to connect for Kate and jim.

Its always so good to see a new Kate Shugak story, a series I have come to regard with plenty of affection, always delighted to renew my acquaintance with the Park Rats that I have become so familiar with. Even though this is a long running series, this is number 21, it still feels fresh and exciting, the location of Alaska plays a critical central role, along with the offbeat, eccentric locals, not to mention the ne’er do wells too. Kate and Jim finally collide, both understanding how important they are to each other. I look forward with avid anticipation for the next in the series! Highly recommended.
