Rating: Summary: This Book is AWSOME Review: This book is s the best of all of the battletech series
Rating: Summary: Doesn't belong in "Twilight" Review: This book was very disappointing. My feeling is that it was only stamped as part of the "Twilight" series in hopes that it would sell better, but it really didn't further the plot at all, develop characters there, etc. I might have been less disappointed had the book been published on its own...I also wouldn't have bought it.
Rating: Summary: Twilight series member...I think not! Review: This is a typical Thurston novel. He's one of my least favorites of the various Battletech authors, and this latest try just solidifies those feelings.The novel has a place in the Battletech universe, though it's place is not in the "Twilight" series. This novel adds nothing to that storyline arc, and serves as nothing more than a distraction to it. This book would have been much better released as a followup to the last of the Jade Falcon series by Thurston. The only contribution it makes to the "Twilight of the Clans" series is it perhaps gives a very small insight into why the Smoke Jaguars behave the way they do in later novels by Gressman.
Rating: Summary: Good book but,where does it fit in Review: Thow it was a good book I thought that it belonged by it self. I don't really see where it fits in to the TotC series. It does however give a good view of clan life for those who don't know much about the BT universe
Rating: Summary: why does everyone hate this? Review: thurston is one of the few battletech writers that makes me SMILE (in a good way). the clan warriors seem human and fleshed out, and their sarcasm is so subtle that most of the pre-teen readers of Battletech probably miss it. Maybe its just me but i'd rather read the banter between Horse and Star Commander Joanna, than seeing a repetitive "as molten ferrorus fibre melted from the emerald green large laser blastt". it reminds be sort of how Tarantino and all the 90s ganster movies would show hitmen as they pondered life as well as their inner workings. no other novel explains clan society and infrastructure as well either.
Rating: Summary: What is it doing here? Review: When I picked up this book I was eagerly awaiting to find out what was going to happen to Task Force Serpent. This book had no place in this series and should never have been written, although if it was a book on it's own no-one would buy it. It is by far the worst book in the series so far only just behind Starlord. Hopefully the next book this man writes will follow on from the books before and not go off on a tangent as this one has done.
