Comment: This picks up after I am Jade Falcon. I have to give Vlad one thing, the sonuvabitch just does not know when to quit. It also shows that some clans are willing to resort to 'Dirty Inner Sphere Politics' to win. But were the actions of the saKhan and Khan justified? Was the 'automatic Trial of Absorption' claim legal, or just the actions of a sore looser?

Comment: Insightful novel that goes in to some considerable depth when it comes Clan politics, and it's also a main source of ongoing debates everywhere. What is and isn't legal when it came to the Refusal War and it's conclusion? The situation is pleasantly complex, and very entertaining if you're in to politics.
Opposite of this is plenty of Inner Sphere politics, but seeing a bit more of Clan politics in action is refreshing.

Plenty of Mech on Mech combat for those who favor this, and let's not forget the Falcon incursion towards Coventry, a massive campaign with severe repurcusions.

All in all a very entertaining read. Not one of the best in BT, but certainly not one of the worst.
