Start of a new Era,
By Mark Zimmerman (Augusta, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech # 53: Call of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
Back when Micheal A. Stackpole wrote the warrior series, he created a storyline for, then FASA, for Battletech. That outline ended with the civil war in the Federated Commonwealth. This book continues with the struggle of the Commonwealth to resolve the civil war, but there are hints that Katherine is losing her grip over the realm that she stole.That by itself was good info. The question is what is the future of the Inner Sphere? Should Victor win the civil war, will the commonwealth heal to his commands? What of his affair with Omi? Not to mention the St. Ives Compact and the Choas March. What makes this series such a wonderfull set is that it always makes you wonder what is around the corner. What will the Clans do now that the Inner Sphere has recreated the Star League? Will the Star League continue to stand after the civil war? And what about Marik? They have been chilling out this whole time with a ruler who is an imposter. See what I mean. Always more questions. If you like stories with plenty of action and characters that you can get into and love this is the series for you. Enjoy.

A Return to Honor,
By
This review is from: Battletech # 53: Call of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
This story continues the exploits of Archers Avengers. The Avengers are ordered to the planet Odessa in order to convince Snord's Irregulars not to renew their contract with Katrina Steiner in the hopes of helping Victor regain control of the splintered FedCom. The storyline is predictable and Archer reminds me of the characters from the old BTech novel Ideal War with the introduction of the Knights of the Inner Sphere. We continue to see the growing conflict within the FedCom, but the last few BTech novels seem mostly filler rather than introducing pertinent elements into this storyline. Hopefully, we'll see some more plot development in the next few novels as it appears that the civil war storyline is winding down. Overall, a good read, but nothing too heavy. As always, I recommend some of the earlier Michael Stackpole novels for background of the FedCom

The first Thorin Regiment vs. Snord's Irregulars,
This review is from: Battletech # 53: Call of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
So, the story of Archer Christifori goes on. After a few fights against Katherines forces in the Skye March, he gets a new mission from Victor: His Regiment has to go to Odessa, home of his sisters murder. There he should sign a contract with one of the best mercenary units of know space, Snord's Irregulars. But he does not know that also Katherine and Count Nicholas Fisk of Odessa want the Irregulars to fight for them.The Book was solid, a quite normal Battletechnovel. A little bit politicen and lots of great fights. And still the Question: How will win this civil war? Read the rest of our Battletech history: Initiation to War - Robert Charrette The Dying Time - By Thomas Gressman (dealing with the situation on Hesperus) Imminent Crisis - By Randall Bills (dealing with situations on New Syrtis) Storms of Fate - By Loren Coleman Operation Audacity - By Blaine Pardoe End Game - By Loren Coleman (Due Sept '02) (Ends the current timeline in 3067)
