Summary: Who Were Those Guys?
Review: Ah, yes, the novel that presented us with the original enigma of the Inner Sphere, Wolf's Dragoons. Read it for the first time in 1987, I think, and it's thankfully reprinted for all you youngsters and latecomers. The tale of strangers who show up in a war-ravaged universe with military technology the likes of which hasn't been seen in 300 years, and don't answer a thing about anything. A wonderful tie-in with the wedding scene in Warrior: Coupe, and plenty of my junior-high femme fantastique, Natasha Kerensky. A must-read for ANYONE who's ever dreamed of sporting the red-trimmed black of the Dragoons, for it's not just a paint job, people, it's a way of life, "until we all shall fall..."

Summary: 5star book
Review: Not much bad to write about this one.
I but I never expected the end, at least not the the
person of whom you least expect it.
Even though it only took me a little over 8 hours to finish, I
would definitely read this one again for the sake of the author ;)
He did one heck of a job. Characters aren't shallow and are
well thought out. Can hardly wait to get my hands on Wolf Pack.In a nutshell, I highly recommand this one to all Battletech Fans who still don't know how the Dragoons and Draconis Combine
got set against each other.

Summary: Warriors who operate mobile machines of war and destruction
Review: Robert N. Charrette's science fiction story about warriors who operate mobile machines of war and destruction, Battletech: Wolves On The Border is the abridged audiobook version and based on the famous science-fiction role-gaming campaign setting. MechWarrior Minobu Tetsuhara is bound by loyalty and the strict code of bushido to serve a manipulative warlord, yet when his commands pit him against an honorable foe he is trapped between duty and conscience. An exciting story that perfectly captures the far-flung and technology-heavy feel of the pencil-and-paper roleplaying game, Battletech: Wolves On The Border is dramatically narrated by Christopher Graybell, resulting in a 3 hour, 2 cassettes audiobook which is enthusiastically recommended listening for fans of mechanoid and robotech scifi.

Summary: Charette is the real Battletech god!!
Review: This Battletech novel is one of the best. It gives you an insight into the thoughts and philosophy of the people of the Draconis Combine and introduces you into the warrior code of Bushido.In addition to that,it describes the strong Russian influence in the Combine very well,a fact that is kind of neglected in the newer Battletech novels. And if you ever wanted to understand Takashi Kuritas twisted honor code as Coordinator,this is the book for it.Furthermore,you learn all about the elite mercenary Regiments of Wolfs Dragoons and their leader,Colonel Jamie Wolf. This is definitely the novel for all serious Battletech fans and Science Fiction lovers as well.So go and get it!

Summary: What a wierd book.
Review: This book left me looking for books to go along with the story. I could not find any.It left a strange feeling with me.The people who wrote it seemed to forget what they were writing about.The shift from preasent-time to past-time Would loose me. Maybe that is what they wanted but not me.

Summary: Charrette ROCKS!
Review: This book ruled. I couldn't put it down. I liked how Charrette picked his characters; taking the mysterious Wolf's dragoons and the Bushido bound Minubo Testuara and created this plot of friends torn apart by the hatred the Draconis Combine has for Jamie Wolf and his mercenaries. Really a great book.

Summary: Testing Wolf's Dragoons
Review: This book, which is probably one of the best Battletech novels out there, gives us a look at how House Kurita and Wolf's Dragoons became enemies. Minobu Tetsuhara is the Combine's liason officer with the Dragoons after House Kurita hires the vaunted mercenaries. Tetsuhara must learn from the Dragoons as the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine, Takashi Kurita, orders him to create a unit that mimics the Dragoons' style. Events come to a head when the Coordinator arranges to keep the Dragoons contract and Tetsuhara must choose between facing off with the Dragoons or dishonoring himself as a samurai of the Draconis Combine. Set before the coming of the Clans and the just-finished FedCom civil war, this is Battletech still at its best (before major word limits cut out the legs of many novels). Highly enjoyable, especially if you read the Warrior Trilogy, Blood of Kerensky Trilogy, Heir to the Dragon, and Wolf Pack, a sequel to this novel also by Mr. Charrette.

Summary: Great for old hands and new bloods alike
Review: This was a well written book, whether you want information for your own games or just like action and sci-fi realism. This book gives insight into both the Battletech universe and the code of the Bushido - and the betrayers of that code. Well worth the read no matter what your prefferred sci-fi or action interest.
