Lots of internal Federated Suns politics, 'Mech fights short and sweet Solaris VII battles. One of Stackpole‘s better novels and a good one in the series. When Kai, Victor and co were introduced, I didn’t like them at all. Now, they’ve grown to adult characters who know what they’re capable of. The shadow of the FedSuns civil war is becoming visible. I like it, it’s on the list of non-skippable books.

For some reason I can’t follow the Sarna list of novels in order?

I like BattleTech fiction best when the mechs are looming in the background. The back half of this book has them fighting just a little too much. Apart from that, it’s a good story about a son struggling to fill the boots of his father and the next generation having to take over the fight before they’re ready.
