Wonderfull! Best blend of intrigue with just enough action.

Amen! My friend from Chicago. Stackpole defines how a war almost always begins, with politics and passion, and Stackpole puts them into his characters and places them in the situations aswell. But this book doesn't just have intrigue and emotion, it puts in fast and furious battling. And takes in well thought planning and strategic thinking into this book. When I purchased this book I read it from morning till late afternoon, stoping only for food and the ocasional call of the wild. Books that do that are the most spectacular novels in the world.
Stirring hooking and just good reading thanks stackpole

Of all of his battletech books that I have read, they never cease to amaze me. As for this one, it is set apart from the others by it's events, STUFF HAPPENS! Decisions are being made... I love Stackpole's cast of characters. I can never adjust to other authors characters; I'm too used to all of his! On a final note, WHY DID YOU STOP PHELAN?!?!? You should've let him do it!
Excellent read and well worth the wait.

That reader from La Crosse Wisconsin doesn't know what he's talking about. Believe me, they don't come a lot better than Michael Stackpole. You complain about the political maneuvering? Well I hate to say it but that is part of what P-O-L-I-T-I-C-S is all about. If battles are not fought in chambers no one gets to fight battles, period. If you want the Twilight series to be nothing more than a nine-book slugfest then we might as well tell FASA right now to stop the series and just kill off all the Clans. (Which they seem to be hell-bent on doing, by the way) Once again Mr. Stackpole has shown us the depth of his knowledge and understanding of military tactics and politics. Mechs in his universe are merely the icing on the cake. Robert Thurston's style is plodding, monotonous and his plots somewhat superficial. It's a no-brainer, ladies and gentleman. Mr. Stackpole is and likely always will be, the best writer FASA could ever employ.
Great writing, but not enough action

This was a good book with exellent writing. I loved how it tied up all the loose ends from previous novels and reformed the Star Leage. It also made a good jumping off point for Task Force Serpent. It is lacking in action, though. Overall, a good book, good concepts, too little action.
