Summary: A great start to the magnificent Battletech series!
Review: This is the first novel in the Gray Death trilogy that starts the greatest achievement in science fiction - Battletech. It's a series playing in a long future when the known human universe is divided between five superpowers engaged in a constant struggle for dominance. The main characteristic of the Battletech universe is the use of a new form of superior war machines called the BattleMech's. The BattleTech novels are stories about MechWarriors - men and women who operate those devastating metal giants.

The BattleTech universe's social structure is some kind of neo-feudalism, and in the new kind of warfare, individual courage, cleverness and performance are of great importance. The five superpowers resemble of certain nations of today's Earth and have very different political orders and ideologies. "Decision at Thunder Rift" is the book you should start the lecture of BattleTech with. A must-read for every SF fan!

Summary: One of the most involving story of the Battletech universe
Review: This is the story of a young Mech warrior, who having lost all his family, a regiment of mercenaries, due to "games of power" of a cruel and sadistic Duke, was able to survive in an hostil and treacherous world, almost whitout help.When i read this book, i considered it one of the best books i had ever read. Now, some years after, i continue to enjoy reading it like it was the first time, even if i already know all the story, but i continue to think that this story is one of the most involving stories i have read in my all life....
