Summary: A good Sci-Fi book
Review: Although this is the 1st book of the Battletech series I read, I think that it's a good Sci-Fi book. It intoduces us in the Battletech Universe on a good way and it's not difficult to enter in the story. It shows interesting characters and presents a lot of storys at the same time but they never become confused

Summary: An Amazing Universe
Review: Battletech has my vote for one of the most interesting sf universes ever created -- it ranks up there with Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Mike Resnick's Birthright universes as the most complex, well-thought through, and exciting fictional settings/timelines. And this trilogy is what started it all (well, unless you can find "The Sword and the Dagger" somewhere). Mike Stackpole's books are the best ones in this series -- I recommend all of them -- but start here.

Summary: Un buen libro de Ciencia Ficción
Review: Este es el primer libro de la serie Battletech que leo, pero aún sin tener un referente para compararlo, me parece un gran libro de Ci-Fi, en el que se entremezclan un garn número de tramas, y consigue mantener el interés hasta el final.

Summary: The book is one of Stackpole's good works
Review: I liked this book the first time it came out. It is still a great book. Stackpole is one of the better BattleTech writers, understanding the nuances of human interaction with machines and each other. The 'Mech conflicts are written really well, putting you right in the action. Few of the other writers are better. Stackpole rates up there with Milan and Charette

Summary: An important background
Review: I missed buying Warrior:En Garde when it first came out. So therefore I was missing background information that sets up much of the plot in the later BT novels. Seeing the change in Dan Allard is one of the best exaples of Stackpole's writing. So it isnt just all howling autocannons. I recommend this book to all those devoted BT novel readers. While not the best BT book I still give it 4 stars and it refreshing to be back in a time when nobody is looking out for anyone's interests other than their own and there are no clans on the horizons

Summary: This is not his best but it's damn good !
Review: Is it just me or is Michael.A.Stackpole a sci-fi god ? Seriously though, this is not his best. It is very well written but lacks the absolute brilliance of the 'Blood of Kerensky' trilogy or the pure craftsmanship of 'Assumption of Risk' , 'Bred for War' or 'Malicious Intent'. Perhaps he was just warming up in 88'.

Summary: It was ok
Review: It seemed like some of the heros were invincible (the newly highly trained Genyoshi couldn't do a thing). But I like the interaction of the characters...except for with Justin Xiang (Allard) and that woman on solaris and Grey Noton.

Summary: It's got it all
Review: Let me see. I've read books from Aliens to Lord of the rings , and this one ranks right up there with both. The book start's out good from the very begging and from there on it thrust you into tyhe worlds of a multitude of character's. It's a specail thing when a book can make you want to stand up and cheer this book supplies many of these moments. The Book touches bases on everything from love to Raceism. And the battle scene's are briliant. I especaily loved the way the character's were so real and believable. At some point's you wanted to cry, and at other's you wanted to through the book in frustration for your fav character. All in all this book was well balanced and it deffinetly got me hooked on BattleTech.

Summary: Great Introduction to Battletech
Review: Like a lot of people, I developed my near-obsession with Battletech through the awesome MechWarrior video game series. Some people might find the 'Mech battles themselves to be enough, while others find the magnitude of the Battletech universe and everything about it (the politics, the individuals, the cultures) to be compelling. I'm one of the latter and, unfortunately for myself, I got into the story a little late (considering it started about 12 years before I got into it). Given that, I can't even tell you how happy I am that these books a) were written, and b) are still around to read. Stackpole obviously understands (seeing as how he had and still has a ridiculous amount of input on the Battletech timeline) that these books are being read by people who want a better understanding of what is going on behind the combat... the politics, the dialogue, the conspiracy. 'Mech combat in and of itself is entertaining, no doubt, but reading about it just doesn't have the same effect as watching it via the PC or acting it out on the game board. The story basically follows two brothers who begin on both ends of the impending Federated Commonwealth alliance. One brother (Justin) finds himself exiled from the Federated Suns due to racial pressure, while Daniel leads a unit in the Kell Hounds mercenary unit, who are closely aligned with Katrina and Melissa Steiner, Archon and princess of the Lyran Commonwealth, respectively. The brothers lead completely different paths through the book (and do not cross paths, despite the description printed on the book), with Justin moving on to Solaris to compete in the games and Daniel finding himself involved in the kidnapping of Melissa Steiner. The characters are really enjoyable, with Justin Allard as the main character, and Daniel, Melissa, and Andrew Redburn not far behind. All in all, this is the ultimate starting point for anyone who has played the video games and wants an inside look on how the whole storyline developed. The FedCom is really when the Inner Sphere story starts to heat up, so naturally, this is a great introduction for prospective fans of the universe. Thanks to this book, I suddenly have a Battletech library on my shelves. ;-)
