Ah, yes, the novel that presented us with the original enigma of the Inner Sphere, Wolf's Dragoons. Read it for the first time in 1987, I think, and it's thankfully reprinted for all you youngsters and latecomers. The tale of strangers who show up in a war-ravaged universe with military technology the likes of which hasn't been seen in 300 years, and don't answer a thing about anything. A wonderful tie-in with the wedding scene in Warrior: Coupe, and plenty of my junior-high femme fantastique, Natasha Kerensky. A must-read for ANYONE who's ever dreamed of sporting the red-trimmed black of the Dragoons, for it's not just a paint job, people, it's a way of life, "until we all shall fall..."

This book, which is probably one of the best Battletech novels out there, gives us a look at how House Kurita and Wolf's Dragoons became enemies. Minobu Tetsuhara is the Combine's liason officer with the Dragoons after House Kurita hires the vaunted mercenaries. Tetsuhara must learn from the Dragoons as the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine, Takashi Kurita, orders him to create a unit that mimics the Dragoons' style. Events come to a head when the Coordinator arranges to keep the Dragoons contract and Tetsuhara must choose between facing off with the Dragoons or dishonoring himself as a samurai of the Draconis Combine. Set before the coming of the Clans and the just-finished FedCom civil war, this is Battletech still at its best (before major word limits cut out the legs of many novels). Highly enjoyable, especially if you read the Warrior Trilogy, Blood of Kerensky Trilogy, Heir to the Dragon, and Wolf Pack, a sequel to this novel also by Mr. Charrette.

I liked this book,because it's tell how the Ryuken was formed and why Draconis combine hate Wolf dragoon's. It's certanly the btech novels with the best battle in it.
