Summary: The Greatest Mechwar with lots of different Mechs.
Review: Captian Paul Masters, of the House of Marik, knows well the art of BattleMech combat. When he's sent to evaluate a war on a backwater planet,he doesn't find what he expects. He finds a geurrella war, where the GFL try to deprive the True Belivers of their resources by any means possible. Their is no honor in this war. Your only Allies our anonymous. It's fighting a war that's really dirty.

Summary: An epic novel
Review: Chris Kubasik really did a wonderful job with this one. I own nearly every Battletech novel and gaming system and this novel has really stood out. The realism in the 'horrors of war' concepts truely stand out as well as the feelings of the main character Paul Masters as he see's that it is not an 'ideal war'. One last thing his Phoenix Hawk is the best described mech in any of the books i have read.

Summary: Viet-Nam for Mechwarriors
Review: I was amazed at how easily Kubasik was able to transfer the Viet-Nam war to the Battletech universe. Not your usual Mechwarrior's story. Very well written.

Summary: Terrible Read
Review: It has been about 5 years since I read this book, and for good reason. The other BTech books, with the exception of Far Country, I have read at least 2 times each, but you would have to pay me to reread this one. The characters lack realism and the plot is barely hung together. The only good thing I have to say about it is that it is not Far Country.

Summary: How did this get published?
Review: This book has a well-conceived storyline and a good idea for characters, but the writing and the unfolding story should be pursued as treatments for insomnia... There is no depth to the characters, no surprises in the plot, no overall redeeming qualities that even justify the waste of paper... FASA corp. really fell asleep at the wheel when this one slipped through...

Summary: Very good indded!
Review: This was my first battletech novel and is still one of my favourites. The creation ceremony of the Knights of the Inner Sphere is amazing and the conversation among the main characters before the last battle is one that I will never forget.
