Description
Betrayed by his own House and stripped of his rank, exiled MechWarrior Justin Allard is given one last chance to save his honor—by risking his life in the gladiatorial arenas of Solaris VII.
But his newest Game World opponent—more skilled at 'Mech-to-'Mech combat than any other rival—raises the stakes even higher. It's Philip Capet, former star MechWarrior in the Davion military—until he was kicked out by none other than Justin Allard before his own unfortunate fall from grace.
Both Justin and Philip face fierce battles, but in the Inner Sphere, where nobles have schemed for centuries to win the ultimate power, those who interfere with the Successor Lords are sometimes called heroes.
And sometimes called victims...

No one stacks 'em like Stackpole | |
I did not expect to see this happen at all: one of the first BattleTech novels, the first BattleTech novel by the legendary Michael A. Stackpole, reprinted in hardcover, and available again. The first book of his Warrior Trilogy, I'd missed this one back in the day, but my dusty copy of Book Two: Riposte sits proudly on my shelf with the rest of my BattleTech books. Despite its age, this one still holds up, and displays the classic Stackpolisms that we've trusted him to deliver for decade after decade. Political intrigue, compelling characters, conspiracy, subterfuge, and of course, intense battles. It's not as refined and focused as some of his later works like the X-Wing novels (or even Grave Covenant in the Twilight of the Clans), but it's worth checking out. They don't make BattleTech like this anymore -- this book itself might as well be losTech. Not sure if they plan on publishing the others, or any more classic BattleTech novels, but to find a classic like this in hardcover is a real treat. It features a foreword by Stackpole which was a good read but unfortunately lacks the material at the back of the book that the '80s BattleTech novels featured: classic artwork, glossaries, advertisements... I would have loved to have seen them reprinted for historical accuracy. |
