Clasic Battletech

Stackpole writes the best Battletech stories. Warrior: Riposte is one of his best. See the begining of the fourth Succession War; laugh as Hanse Davion's wedding toast declares war on the whole Inner Sphere, and watch as Daniel Allard tries to deal with his traitor of a brother. As the Kell Hounds come to terms with Patric Kell's death, Morgan Kell must fight the battle he fled from years ago- the battle of Mallorys World, where he found a secret so terrorfying that he spend the next 8 years in a monestry.

best battletech trilogy

The warrior trilogy is the best btech series ever. The plot and battle r good and character cool.

Thank you

From those of us who haven't been in the Battletech Universe since the eighties, THANK YOU!! It is great to read of the recent history that the present has built upon.

Stackpole's Best

This book series was first released in the 80s. It's story revolves around war in the 31st century, but manages to avoid being about the "Mechs" or high-tech devices. Instead it is a story about people and governments. The Warrior series is not hard science fiction, but it is good science fiction, and I believe that FASA can thank this series for the success they've had since the original release.

The book that started it all

I read this book and instantly became a Battletech fan when it first came out under a different publisher in 1988. I have since reread the trilogy numerous times. I liked it because it was well written and well put together (+ I have since become a fan of Mr. Stackpole). Since the books have been out of print and almost impossible to come by, most of you have picked up the story line with the Lethal Heritage trilogy, thus leaving many of you with the question of how did this all start or who are these people. Well this series will answer most if not all of your questions. Taking place 25 years prior to the Clan invasion (old technology and classic mechs) you are introduced to who the characters are. You discover what the relationships (friendly and hostile)between the houses were like and why. You also discover why the animosity exists between all the houses and ComStar. This book as well as the next two are must reading for any fan of the entire Battletech series. Well written and easy to read and follow you won't want to put it down.
