A story about rebuilding
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
As is surpisingly often the case with Battletech/Mechwarrior novels, there is little actual mech-on-mech combat in this book. Instead, this is a book about politics, specifically the first steps towards re-founding the Free Worlds League (House Marik). The realm has been splintered for decades - since shortly after the end of the old Battletech days - and while combat plays an important role in its re-creation, it is not as important as politics, and specifically the family politics of Jessica Marik and her children. The book is subtle and steeped in the history of Battletech, and even though I never had much interest in FWL history before, this impressed me quite a bit. I look forward to more books in this sub-series.
