Customer Review: In _To Ride the Chimera_ completes the four-novel story of the re-creation of the Free Worlds League. This has been an interesting storyline, if for no other reason than the fact that the Battletech Universe has left the FWL comparatively alone since he beginning; and more surprisingly, I found... more info
Customer Review: This was perhaps one of the most boring novels I have read in the Mechwarrior series. It lacked action and focused too much on the boring, egocentric character of Anson Marik. I kept waiting for some action, which didn't materialize till the end. I miss the old Battletech that was more attuuned to... more info
Customer Review: 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 -... more info
Customer Review: Where GHOST WAR served to introduce readers new and old to the current state of the BATTLETECH universe, A CALL TO ARMS dives straight in, letting readers follow and try to catch their breath. This approach mostly works, with Stackpole having set up much of the background for the reader in... more info
Customer Review: Battletech is a well written and rich univers filled with intersting charters and wonderful places. Unfortuntly the they can't write a role playing rules system to save their life. No matter how many times they rewrite this system they seem to think that only improvment it needs is piling more and... more info
Customer Review: Another book that isn't very popular with the fanbase (indeed, an entire trilogy that got rather roasted upon release), I thought that A SILENCE IN THE HEAVENS was pretty good at the time. While my opinion has mellowed slightly, it's still a pretty good book. A SILENCE IN THE HEAVENS picks up... more info
Customer Review: The Republic of the Sphere has basically collapsed in the two years since the HPG interstellar communications grid went down. Clans and Houses are making power grabs all over the galaxy, and most of the now-isolated planets are finding out that ignorance is not bliss. Alkalurops is a seemingly... more info
Customer Review: THE RUINS OF POWER has been lambasted by fandom, often being termed "The Ruins of Paper". Even at the time it came out, I didn't quite understand why it was so reviled; years later, I still don't. I'll admit, it's not my favorite book of the series. It does have flaws; characters' motivations... more info
Customer Review: Loren L. Coleman is, in my opinion, one of the best writers in the Battletech/Mechwarrior franchise, so after a number of weak entries in the Dark Age series (The Ruins of Power, the trilogy preceding this book), I was hoping Coleman could get things back on track. Sadly, he left me disappointed.more info
