Another hit

Stackpole wrote another good one as expected. This was not necessarly full of combat except for Solaris. The only thing that stopped it from getting 5 starts was there was a bit too much Tormano Liao in it for me. Just something about that guy I don't like.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book, expanding on some of the best characters in the Battletech Universe. Kai, Victor, and Gallen are all excellent. This book, however, is not for those who want Mech battles, with the only fighting on Solaris VII in arenas.

Wow, one of his best books.

From the moment I opened this book I could not stop until I finished it. Kai, Victor, Peter, Katherine and Deidre, all having their struggle. But at the end, after years of seperration, Love and Trust are the winners of this novel.

A book for anyone who needs a lttle urge to carry on

I read this book, and got plenty laughs out of it, along with a few tears. this book, and the oters like it, helped me to chnge my life ...read it, it's good.
