4.0 out of 5 stars Highlander Gambit, October 12, 2001

By

This review is from: Battletech 18: Highlander Gambit (Bk. 18) (Paperback)

Major Loren Jaffay of the elite troops of the Death Commandoes of the Capellan Confederation is sent on a mission to destroy the "evil" Highlander Regiment because they deserted the Confederation in thier time of need. I think this is a pretty exciting book to read because in the middle of Jaffay's mission the Highlanders split up and battled the Eighth's RTC units. Buy this book it is a good read!!

The Jaffrey Family left the famous Northwind Highlanders almost three decades ago. Now the man who rules the latest generation of Jaffreys, Chancellor Sun-Tsu Liao, plans to use Loren Jaffrey, the grandson of two of the heroes of the war of 3025, to destroy the Highlanders. But who will he fight for? A nation that he was raised in? Or will he break from every thing he has known to help his ancestors' unit

This review is from: Battletech 18: Highlander Gambit (Bk. 18) (Paperback)

This was the first Battletech universe book I had read, so I had a little trouble at first sorting out factions and characters, but it unfolded into a wonderful plot and a memorable clan of highlanders.

The "fight scenes" were described very well.

The last 1/3rd of the book was very exciting, I couldn't put it down. Wish I could share more, but I don't want to spoil it for you.
