If you've been looking for a view of the clans Diamond Shark, Ghost Bear, Nova Cats, Smoke Jaguar, or steel Viper, this is your best bet. Included are extensive summaries of the key battles of the 3050 invasion, occupying unit lists, and a pair of new mechs for each clan. The 8 color artwork pages are spectacular, although the black-and-white illustrations are substandard for FASA. Though all of the 'mech stats are also listed in T.R. 3058, the artwork in Invading Clans is superior. A good buy for the clanner in all of us.

Chock-full of facts, lore, history and of course new Mechs, it's an indispensable sourcebook for Aspiring Jaguars, Vipers, Bears, and Cats. Diamond Sharks will be disappointed because of the short shrift given by the author to the composition of their military. The Mechs contained therein can be found in the 3058 Technical Readout so the book is really aimed at roleplayers. There is enough lore in the book to add to the memory banks of any 'Tech aficionado. However I do believe that Some of the Clans, particularly Smoke Jaguar, deserved a sourcebook of their own.

This book was great! Very informative, one of FASA's best! I hope more like these come around! A must for any Battletechist.
