Summary: didn't read it yet
Review: from all your reviews i think this a good book.i hope it is.:)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure Jade Falcon goodness
Review: I have enjoyed the series but the Clan culture is so far removed from our own it makes it difficult to like them or to sympathize with the Characters I think it is best to leave them as enemies and not try and make a story out of an entire clannish setting. The book does well act as a information source about the current state of affairs in Clan Space but I still can't say I like the characters

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Left Hanging...
Review: OK... I admidt. I am new to the Battletech books. The Twilight series was the first I ever read. Over all, they were great. It's hard getting used to the different writers doing each book in the series. I share them with my young son, and, some he was allowed to read, some not. (The jury's still out on this one... Too Much "Coupling")

The Previous book, The Prince of Havoc was, I agree with other reviewers, a bit rushed -could have been two books easy. The ending was great, leaving me drooling for more -would Victor's love get killed. Would his sister finally get her's.

Then came Falcon rising, the last of the 8. I read it. It was great in and of itself. But it was a poor ending to long hours of reading 8 books only to find out that I don't get to even read a word about Victor and his sis.

So... Now where do I go. The final point is. I loved this book. But I need to know what happens with all the dangeling's that were left in No. 7. Even Star Wars, Ep 6 ended the story line enough such that, if they never do make movie 7, I will not feel like I'm missing much ...(Sorry about the contractions).

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor Writing - Check out other Battletech Novels First
Review: This was an interesting Battletech novel. I like it because it isn't an Inner Sphere novel and has nothing (well, almost nothing) to do with the 'Sphere: it is only Clan verses Clan; the Jade Falcons verses the Steel Vipers. I am a Wolf Clan Fan, but Falcon Rising was pretty good. When I don't root for the Wolves (since there are only what, 2 novels about them?) I root for the Jade Falcons. I really like the espionage involved in the Scientist Caste and all of the Grand Council Politics. This made me laugh too. If this is your first time reading Battletech, this wouldn't be a bad one to start off with, even though it is a later book in a series. You will like it. Read it. It's worth your 5 bucks.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 2nd worst btech book
Review: You may take some advice from your own work and "Adapt Or Die", as Khan Marthe Pryde so elequently put it. Your choice of chacters is ridiculas. You seem to think that we will like them even if they are right b******s. The overall story is good, but these horrible chacters just drag the whole book down. I await a sympathic and all-round Good-Guy type (who actually has a bit of good luck from time to time) in your next novel that will allow me to get stuck into the story, and really enjoy the novel. If you dont do this, at least get a nice heavy 'mech to step on Joanna, there-by killing her off in a satisfyingly painful manner (Kill Natasha Kerensky will she...). Your hopefully, Darron

PS. Storyline: 2 out of 2... Characters: 0 out of 3... Result: 2 stars. (Sorry) :*(
