Long Live the Combine!

This book was a fantastic book. It has a lot of great qualities, The further development of Theodore Kurita and Ninyu Kerai, more of Camacho's Caballeros.Subhash's death was dramatic and he died for a cause but I would have rather he didn't die. It also has some of the best villians, Hohiro Kiguri and the Black Dragon Society. All in all this is a great book that shows the inner workings of one of the most powerful of the Successor States.

Good book,but not enough Mech battles

This book had an all around good plot, but it didn't have any good mech battles until the end. Most of it was just talking.

BOOK GOOD BOOK GOOD

Victor Milan did himself proud when he created the Caballeros in Hearts of Chaos and they've come clear to Black Dragon getting wilder all the way. However Subhash dying was a definite minus and Franklin Kurita should have been expanded upon but this is still a first class book

Long live the Kanrei

Camacho's Caballeros are an endearing bunch. But the parts I really liked is the development of Ninyu Kerai's character. I've been fascinated with this nekagami-trained ISF operative. Now he comes into his own, becoming a more multi-faceted character instead of a cardboard thug. The role of Franklin Sakamoto was also nicely done. These small things reward Battletech readers who take the trouble of actually completing as much of the series as possible. I'm just sorry Sun-Tzu Lao is now the new First Lord....I'd hope it was Theodore.
