A WARRIOR NEEDS A WAR As the Khans of the Clans gather on Strana Mechty to plan a new invasion of the Inner Sphere, Jade Falcon Khan Marthe Pryde strives to rebuild her Clan to its former glory. She bloods new warriors and wins others in Trials from other Clans, but she cannot waste any fine warrior - even those who are freeborn. She gives a Trinary composed entirely of freeborns to a freeborn Star Captain and allows Diana, the freeborn daughter of a Jade Falcon hero, to compete for a bloodname. The Khans of the Steel Vipers -- long-standing rivals of the Falcons -- use these radical moves against Marthe, attacking her in the Grand Council. In the midst of this war of intimidation, the Inner Sphere accomplishes the unthinkable -- an invasion of Clan space. But even that cannot stop Marthe Pryde or the Steel Vipers as their ripening conflict explodes into war...

Not Part of the Twilight Series.,

This review is from: Battletech:Falcon Rising( Twilight of the Clans VIII ) (Mass Market Paperback)
The sixth novel of the Jade Falcon story arc, 'Falcon Rising' initially has two themes; Aidan Pryde's 'daughter' Diana follows in his footsteps and demands the right for a Bloodname, stirring not just her own Clan into turmoil. Her mother, the scientist Peri, follows up on events foreshadowed in earlier Jade Falcon books to infiltrate some kind of inter-Clan Scientist caste conspiracy.
The later half of the book involves the war over the Invasion Corridor versus the Steel Vipers, who come off virulently Crusader in their viewpoints despite earlier works claiming them to be Warden oriented. Although the resolution was weak, this novel is far better paced than the previous 'Freebirth', yet does not really add anything to either the Clan or Inner Sphere storylines.
