Summary: A nice try butt...
Review: A valiant effort but in the end it left me very unsatisfied. The problem with doing books based on Battletech is that sometimes the Mechs and the combat seem to overshadow the storyline. Don't get me wrong, there were some very good parts and the battles were written very well. But in the end it's just too much. There are so many battles in the book that for the most part the larger story is ignored. I've had mixed feelings about the whole Twilight series in general. I'm not sure I really agree having a series of books done by four different authors. You sometimes end up with different feels altogether. But be that as it may I have hope for the future and will eagerly await the release of "Prince of Havoc".

Summary: Mixed Feelings!
Review: Although this book took me only 7 hours to finnish from cover to cover I was left with mixed feelings about what I had just read. The battles were, in the main, well written and enthralling but there seems to be too much attention to details which most BTech readers already know. Overall this is a very good book which leaves you eagerly anticipating the next in the series.

Summary: Shadows of War was interesting, to say the least.
Review: But not to say that there were a few mistakes as well. As I read in one of the other reviews, the fact that authors do "rehash" facts about past events does get tedious. Although it is required for some new readers to the area, much of it is unecessary. And Operation Bulldog did come through almost intact does raise some questions, especially when Task force serpent was almost completely destroyed. And it was composed of some of the most elite units in the inner sphere. The book was interesting, and I do look forward to the next episode, I hope that they fix some of the more questionable happenings in the plot.

Summary: Run of the Mill
Review: Compared to most of the battletech books I have read, this one was rather poor.

Summary: A book we could have done without
Review: Don't get me wrong, Gressman is a great B-Tech writer. But if the Twilight of the Clans had to be 8 books, they could have used this space to deal with more of the Inner Sphere during the campaign. The only reason I finished this book really fast was I got tired of hearing all the whining about how terrible war is and the toll it takes on the soldiers. It's their job, noone forced them into the military, so don't act like such a bunch of BABIES!

Summary: So many mistakes!
Review: Having read this book, and then the other reviews listed here, I just had to add some comments of my own. When are we, Battletech fans and followers of the workings of the Inner Sphere, going to be allowed to read well written stories on a regular basis? My first comment deals with the fact that these authors continually recap and rehash events. Throughout this book, the author continually buffets the reader with redundant information, often related in the previous chapter. Why does the reader have to be submitted to the same drivel about this or that characters's feelings over and over. Case in point: The first chapter deals with ilKahn Lincoln Ossis' plea to the Clan Council for assistance; no sooner does he arrive on Huntress, but the reader is subjected to a lengthy synopsis of the events related in the first chapter! Secondly, the reader, ostensibly one who has been following the Battletech novels (let's face it, this is not mainsteam fiction), is continually forced to read redundant decriptions of how this technology, or that weapons system works. Doesn't the author realize the majority of his readers already know this stuff? Next, let's try and stick to the basics. In battle, as in life, simple luck has a lot to do with the outcome of events. Mosts fans of Battletech know that there are no Battlemechs that can just shrug off two hits from a Gauss rifle in the same location. The forces of Operation Bulldog waxed the Smoke Jaguars during their campaign; what was wrong with Task Force Serpent? Wasn't it made up of some of the most elite units in the Inner Sphere? Weren't they using the same equipment as Bulldog? Oh yes, and how did a sword fight between two highly trained warriors, with a susequent escape from a building about to explode, occur in less than two minutes, three tops? Having said all that, let me conclude by saying that this book is still worth reading, at least to maintain a sense of what is happening in the genre. It's too bad that the events weren't portrayed more accurately and entertainingly.
