Summary: Diamond cuts diamond...
Review: and it took the Dragoons to nearly destroy the Dragoons. The ending is an inspiration though it's a twisted road to get there. You definitely have to read Wolves on the Border and Heir to the Dragon before you go to this one, the references will lose you completely. And yeah, I can't believe Zeta Battalion was that jacked up either.
Me, I am far more a 3027 kind of guy, pre-Clans, pre-Dark Age. I don't know when or if the Dragoons will ever resurface. But it's nice to know that for a time the red-trimmed black ruled every battlefield of the Inner Sphere.

Review: Charrette is a fantastic writer. He builds up the plot until it bursts with surprising plot twists and good characters

Review: How much fun was that?! I havn't enjoyed a book that much since reading the field manual for my own brand spanking Mad Cat...
Though they could have done more with Zeta Battalion. Wasted their brilliance slightly...
Oh, by the way, anyone remember what Jamie Wolf's 'Mech was again?

Summary: This one got me hooked!!
Review: The BEST Battletech book that I've read to date. Started playing/reading Battletech in '93 and this was the first book and I've collected and read EVERY book. It was hard to put this book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. This quality of writing is what other writers should strive for!! Not set word limits by the publishers.

Summary: Very good reading, action packed
Review: This book is very well written, and very easy to follow. The only recommendation I have is read the "Blood of Kerensky" series by Michael Stackpole for clearification of the clan invasion.

Summary: A shocker
Review: This is a terrible book. The civil war on Outreach between the factions of Wolf's Dragoons should have been thrilling. Instead, Charette made it boring. The characters were one-dimensional, and their actions frequently inexplicable. The plot was full of cliches, and many threads were never resolved. The source of conflict was obscure. The writing style was never any better than pedestrian. You needed a full history of Wolf's Dragoons (which I don't have access to) to make sense of a lot of the story. Even the illustrations were bad.
Frankly, "Field Manual: Mercenaries" is a more enjoyable read about Wolf's Dragoons, and that's not the way it should be.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This was the first BattleTech book I read. Amazing, compelling story. This is one of the few books that should be made into a movie. It would need more explanation to people not familiar with the BattleTech universe, but if the movie followed the book, it would be outstanding.
