reviewed D.R.T. by James D. Long (BattleTech Legends)

James D. Long: D.R.T. (EBook, 2011, Catalyst Game Labs)

Scrappy mercenary story

Not much of any space opera, but a nice contained story of mercenaries vs. Clans. Much better than the skippable Main Event which introduced the Black Thorns. Emotional story beats are resolved in this book and the characters actually talk to each other, the lack of which was frustrating in Main Event.

Michael A. Stackpole: Assumption of Risk (EBook, 2011)

THE FUTURE OF THE REALM

Solaris VII, the Game World, is the Inner Sphere …

The real Solaris novel

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.

Andrew Keith: Blood of heroes (EBook, 2011, Catalyst Game Labs)

Pretty good

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.
