Stuberts Corner,
By
This review is from: Malicious Intent (Battletech) (Mass Market Paperback)
Great book, full of action and huge amounts of background data (which is one of the reasons I love Battletech).
Fans of the older books though will start to notice that this is where the characters start to change drasticaly. Victor Davion starts entering his 'wimpy' stage and Kai starts to become this ruthless cold killer (which is a total switch on the two characters). Still, the two of them are not as bad yet as they eventualy become, so it's not too bad. Buy this book, good stuff. Stu.

A must have,
By A Customer
This review is from: Malicious Intent (Battletech) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a MechWarrior fan and you only buy one Battletech novel, this is the one to get. It's not only a captivating story by a great author, but it effectively bridges the gap between the Refusal War (i.e. classic MechWarrior 2) and the Inner Sphere counterstrike against the Clans (the events of MechWarrior 3), and it also well foreshadows the Steiner-Davion civil war (the background of MechWarrior 4). If you're interested in MechWarrior backstory, this gives you a good look at the major players in the latter two installments of the series and explains how certain key story elements came about. And it's a riveting read in its own right.

Best? No. But great. Ok,
This review is from: Malicious Intent (Battletech) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a great book. But I think that it was Stackpole's worst. Now, I am Vladimir Ward fan, so naturally this book was great, until all of a sudden Vlad and Clan side of the novel just finished without warning. Though the rest of the novel was brillinat I don't think Stackpole should have just dropped Vlad. I mean he was the centre of attension at the beginning (he got the first chapter), but half through the book it was like Stackpole got bored and decided to continue Victor's and Doc's side of the story. Another problem in the novel was kai. It was like some else wrote him. He didn't have the same attitude as he did in other novels. He was sort of distant and cold in this. Still great novel and worth the money.
