Customer Reviews

Good book, but not for those new to Battletech

This novel was quite well written, but I would not recommend someone who has never read any Battletech books. A new reader would probably be clueless as to why anything in the novel is happening. Clan Wolf's traditions as well as such important events as the HPG blackout are not heavily explained in this novel. If you already know what these are, you should be set to read this book. And yes, Katrina Steiner-Davion makes an appearance, manipulative and deceptive as ever. One last thing: I believe that the cover shown is not the correct one, since the previous (or next, I'm not sure) has the exact same cover.

Back to Form

Stackpole is back with another novel in the Mechwarrior Dark Age series from the first intallment 'Ghost War'. I found the story lines intriguing but lacking some depth. Back are the large scale battles and Clan versus Inner Sphere conflicts which can hopefully be expanded in subsequent novels. The series is back to form (over Ilsa Bick's trash) if not quite the author's.
