Jacob's Review,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Imminent Crisis (Mechwarrior) (Paperback)
When it comes to the issue of taking sides in a civil war that has engulfed the entire Federated Commonwealth, Grayson Addison is an undecided man. For a while he and his Eighth Syrtis Fusiliers remain neutral in the bloody conflict. All of this changes however, when troops under the command of Archon-Princess Katherine Steiner-Davion invade his home planet of New Syrtis. Grayson is forced to take action. He can no longer sit on the sidelines and watch the war unfold because now it has come to him.This book is fairly well written but the constant jumping from place to place and character to character sometimes confused me. However, the author provides good details and the plot was exciting making "Imminent Crisis" a worthwhile book to read. The news casts at the beginning of each chapter were also a nice touch. Those interested in the Mech Warrior series should definitely read this book.

small hole,
By Jeffrey Horton (Manville, RI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imminent Crisis (Mechwarrior) (Paperback)
i'll agree with most people who know anything about battletech that the turn to the fedcom civil war has been slightly disappointing. writing about the tactics and nit-picking in each battle was all well and good in the beginning of the series; but now that there is a decided end to the storyline with plans to jump ahead, i think a fallacy in the fedcom series is that they aren't spending enough time on ideas, concepts, and the ending of storylines. there are far too many unanswered questions, and with battletech books getting shorter and shorter, battle sequences (while well written) seem to be excess filler.the small hole that i'd like to point in this book is that, while minor in the grand scheme it still annoyed the hell out of me and i think that anyone who read "grave covenant" will agree, is george hasek married w/children or single? cuz i seem to remember george hasek jr. having a snowball fight with david lear in "grave covenant". anyone else? and didn't the locket that andrew redburn recovered from morgan's daishi in "the hunters" have a picture of his grandson? just a little something. the book is pretty good when seen in context with the last several books but is no "blood legacy" or "malicious intent"

Good book, wrong forum,
By
This review is from: Imminent Crisis (Mechwarrior) (Paperback)
First let me say, I thought this was a very good book. I think it would have been better placed under the Battletech line of novels, as it encompassed a long time frame and had many different characters. The Mechwarrior series previous to this, focused around one primary character in each book. The "primary" character, Grayson Addison, appears at the beginning and at the end. The rest of the book deals with Duke Hasek, his long time friend/sudden wife, Victor ally Ardan Sortek, Steiner marshalls, etc., etc. Still, good book, good read.
