Summary: Clan war at its best 2002-07-06
Comment: The new defenders on a planet in the Ghost Bear territory is a small, green unit,with freebirths. But they get thrown in a battle with the toughest Clan Wolf unit ever made. This is a great book with, nonstop action that doesnt get u time to breath. Pardoe shows the clans in a way never been shown before. Ive been reading btech for a long time and this is my first mechwarrior book but is as good as stackpole's old books in btech. I recomend this book to everyone that can read! LOL!

Summary: Best BattleTech Novel Yet 2002-04-12
Comment: Angela Bekker, a skilled 'Mech Warrior from Clan Ghost Bear is chosen by the Khan to form a new Trinary to protect the front-line world of Toffen. By almost anyone's standards a single Trinary is an insufficient amount of forces to defend such an important planet. Therefore, Toffen is seen as a ripe target by Clan Wolf who sends an entire Cluster to take the world. Now Angela and her green unit must repel the attack of one of Clan Wolf's most skilled and experienced group of warriors.This book is by far the best BattleTech novel I have ever read. From start to finish it is filled with excitement. Pardoe describes everything in such detail that it makes seem like you're actually out on the battlefield witnessing the events in the book. This is a must-read book for anyone even remotely interested in the BattleTech novels.

Summary: Read This Book or Suffer a Severe Lack of Excitement 2002-04-09
Comment: Angela Bekker a Ristar from Clan Ghost Bear, is order by the Khan to form a trinary to defend the front line world of Toffin. With such inadequate defenses on such an important world, the Wolf Clan takes the opportunity and launches an assault. With an elite cluster of top notch assault `Mechs, the Angela and her green unit is out classed in technology and experience. This book was written with fantastic skill and detail. Only the most experienced writers such as Michael Stackpole and Carl Deuker. Every battle is described so well that I felt the temperature rise as the Wolves were surrounded by the horrific cane fire. The plot twists and turns and you never know what is going to happen next. If you're in need of some serious entertainment (for example you've beaten all your Xbox games) then this book is exactly what you want.

Summary: Clan warfare at its best. 2001-04-14
Comment: Pardoe presents a novel based on Clan Ghost Bear that has everything you'd expect from a book about Clan warfare. He features well outlined characters (for btech novel standards), a grim competetion between 2 Clans/2 mech forces/2 elite clan mechwarriors, and a plot with intruiging twists and interesting informations about the long neglected Ghost Bear Dominion. The fighting scenes are solid, and both sides receive ample credit, and not the typical 'one side rox, one side blows' clichees found in so many btech novels. Personally I especially liked the fight ensuing from the ambush laid by SCom Constant Tseng's star, cuz it showed in a brilliant manner how clan RoE works and can be used to own advantage. With this book, Pardoe rejuvenated the true spirit of clan society, and I only hope, that whoever is responsible for the Btech story and timeline plot, doesnt erase this amazing aspect of the btech universe. Last, but not least, I woulda given this book 5 stars, if not for some blunt errors bout CGB... Goddam, CGB didnt accomplish a draw on Tukayid, they WON their separate campaign against ComStar...(okay, I admit, I'm a long time CGB fan *grin*)
