Summary: A Shallow and Poorly Written Copy of Another Battletch Novel
Review: One of the very first Battletch novels written, "Decision at Thunder Rift", which started the saga of the Grey Death Legion, is also one of the best stories created in the Battletech Universe. A young man is forced into command of a mercenary unit, trains non-Mechwarrior's to join his new unit, and takes on an invading force. Sound familiar?

It should, because this is also the basic plot of "Ghost of Winter", the first in the Mechwarrior series from FASA, and a part of the Battletech Universe.

This book is an absolute mess. The characters are shallow, the pacing is absurdly quick, motivations are ridiculous, etc. The Battletch series has produced a number of excellent books; it's a shame that FASA decided to start the Mechwarrior series with such a piece of worthless tripe. The scary part is the ending of this book, which leaves room for a sequel. Perish the thought. Please?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatly Written, Superb
Review: This book had heart-pounding action and you'll never know what'll happen next! It had some really surprising scenes. But the Mech battles were the best. They were highly descriptive and anyone who likes Mechwarrior should read this book. Trust me, It's good!
