This review is from: Roar of Honor (Mechwarrior, No. 2) (Paperback)

Being brutally honest I can't rate this among the better of BTnovels. If I could I would give it 3 and a half stars... ...Anyway,the story is conventional. Outnumbered good guys fight bad guys and eventually pull through by their wits. It's been done so many times in BT novels it's getting seriously stale. At least Blaine did it better than many other authors. The book is a rather good read though and gives interesting insights into Ghost Bear life. At this point I might have given the novel 4 stars. But, but, there are some itsy bitsy mistakes only a fanatical Ghost Bear supporter could spot. And then there's the big one I had dreaded seeing...To recap: Unoriginal but fairly well written novel with a disappointing ending. END

This review is from: Roar of Honor (Mechwarrior, No. 2) (Paperback)

I have long awaited a book in the Battletech Universe that focused Mainly on the Clan I play, the Ghost Bears. I personally believe there could not have been a better author to do the job. I feel Blaine gave good back ground and story flow to the book with good descriptions of Battle that have lacked from some Battletech books (Some of Stackpole's work has lacked in this area lately), without bogging the story down. The only thing I could find wrong was the occasional typo that had slipped past editing. Other than that, I highly Recommend this Book!

I thought that was an cool book. I wish that there were more Mech Warrior books written by the same author. Even though that all of the characters were kind of hard to follow.
