2.0 out of 5 stars Good Effort, but it seemed not quite ready for prime time, May 9, 2000
This review is from: Dagger Point (Battletech, No. 46) (Paperback)
What can I say, It was a good effort, and it had a good story, but it seemed rushed and way too hurried an effort. It needed polishing and almost all of the characters needed more in the way of depth. There was also some realism questions and a feeling of abruptness with the ending. I was left lacking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing installment on the Capellan Solution, April 25, 2000
This review is from: Dagger Point (Battletech, No. 46) (Paperback)
I've read all the Battletech books, have the complete collection in paperback (yes, including The Sword and the Dagger), and have always enjoyed the books whether they be part of the "big" events in the Inner Sphere or just side plots. But the Capellan Solution series has been a huge disappointment in general and Dagger Point a waste of Tom Gressman's writing in particular. The plot makes no sense given the history of the ELH, the cameos by Victor and Theodore are very much out of character and the whole Vietnam thing was done better in Ideal War (although it stunk then too). I was hoping this book would turn this sub-series around... I was thinking Kai would agree with Sun Tzu that the Confederation should indeed be reunited with a small adjustment in who would sit on the Celestial Throne but alas, this book is little more of a placeholder chapter in a very bad story overall.

2.0 out of 5 stars Could have been WAY better, April 16, 2000
By 
This review is from: Dagger Point (Battletech, No. 46) (Paperback)
I have been a fan of BT for 12 years and the novels are usually good. I didn't much like this one.

First off, the 'mech combat was too limited. They didn't FEEL like battles between REGIMENTs of huge armored vehicles. It was more like 1 on 1 fights between individual 'mechs. I would expect that more from a BT book about the clans than the inner sphere.

Second the story didn't make much sense. It never explained WHY the STAR LEAGUE would send troops to fight against a Star League member state. If they were put there as a warning to Sun Tzu, and then an 'incedent' caused them to intervene, fine, but the Light Horse went in shooting.

Alot of different things in the story didn't make sense. Like I said, it could have been MUCH better.
