Description: Harley Rassor is a simple farm boy in a complex techno-universe—more than happy to work the land of planet Slewis with his father. His restless older brother left to join the elite merc corps, Able`s Aces... and paid with his life. Now, Harley`s father wants him to join the fight—and learn what happened to his brother.

What he learns is that the Aces are in turmoil. His instructor—tough-as-nails Lieutenant Livia Hawke—also happens to be his brother`s ex-lover. Rumors of suspected payoffs and setups are commonplace. And the entire unit is in danger of being disbanded.

Then pirates launch a devestating raid on the Rim Collection`s resources, sparking an all-out fight that will put the Aces in the thick of battle—and reveal to Harley that there are worse things in war than death.

Comment: One of my favorite mechwarrior novels. There are several good plot twists and while there are a few inaccuracies the story moves at a good pace with very strong characters. One of the few mechwarrior novels which i would have liked to have seen a sequel.

Comment: Another book of the Mechwarrior series and again, not at all related to the previous Mechwarrior series novels.

One thing that I really like about this book was the main characters use of physical combat in a mech. I don’t know of another book where one character does both DFA and charge attacks to take out heavier opponents (with various degrees of success).

A good book but I had the bad feeling the author was trying to imply a pirate group pulled a clan Mad Cat out of an old Star League cache. He, the author, clears things up near the end of the book, but it didn’t sit well with me for a long time.

This book is more of a fun read of the BT universe.
