5.0 out of 5 stars Operation Audacity: A great book., September 3, 2002

This review is from: Operation Audacity (Battletech 55) (Paperback)

When I bought this book I just completed reading the latest Mechwarrior book so I was apprihensive in purchasing another battletech book right away but when I read the back cover and saw that had General Archer in the story line I went ahead and bought the book. So Once I started reading the book I couldn't set down the book. I was very impressed with the Operation Audacity. This book starts off with bringing back one of the more colorful characters that has been written into the FedCom civil war story line. General Archer is back and kicking the Jade Falcons out of the Lyran Alliance. The book read really well and flowed through smoothly and most of all it wasn't boring like the Mechwarrior series books. This has been a great book. This book has my highest recommandations.

For those of us following the FedCom civil war, this novel provides an escape. Dealing with the events of the Jade Falcon invasion into the Lyran Alliance, we follow Archer's Avengers and forces under Adam Steiner as they attempt to blunt the Jade Falcon advance. Steiner and Archer, previously enemies in the civil war, must put aside their differences in order to succeed. The fighting rages on and familiar faces and places (Phelan Kell, Marthe Pryde, Falcon Guards, Twycross) pop up and provide the reader with a welcome diversion from the civil war. Overall, a well-written book. It's nice to see other characters besides Katherine and Victor duke it out. Also check out Imminent Crisis from the MechWarrior series. It deals with Duke George Hasek-Davion and the current FedCom civil war.
