5.0 out of 5 stars
A motley band of "strays" take on an "evil empire"--
This book involves a group of unlikely characters who fall together on a planet of the Periphery and join forces to stop the sinister 'Star Lord.' Half the fun of the book is the unlikely partnership of these characters. I especially liked the very tough young woman who had been banished from the Steel Viper clan. She was tough as nails, never softened up a bit-- but...

2.0 out of 5 stars
Quite ridiculous
Not much sense in the fact that a descendant from Amaris can conquer the Inner Sphere with a couple of regiments of pirates and some stupid impersonations. Also, it burns through all battletech conventions. The final chapters are especially guilty. A Locust destroyed by a single SRM in the back?. A Hatchetman catches a Locust without the pilot, sorry,...

This review is from: Star Lord (Battletech series) (Paperback)
This book involves a group of unlikely characters who fall together on a planet of the Periphery and join forces to stop the sinister 'Star Lord.' Half the fun of the book is the unlikely partnership of these characters. I especially liked the very tough young woman who had been banished from the Steel Viper clan. She was tough as nails, never softened up a bit-- but she was deadly in a mech, and she was very sexy!. Picture this book as an interplanetary "Magnificent Seven" who take on the worst of the bad guys. The Star Lord is a total dirtbag whom you love to hate. He is a deadly danger to the Inner Sphere unless stopped. And these five turkeys manage to stop him! A book that was great fun to read. Scenes, planets, and adventures speed along rapidly, maintaining your interest. Great pace, great action. I rated it quite high-- higher than most Battletech novels I've read.

Also, it burns through all battletech conventions. The final chapters are especially guilty. A Locust destroyed by a single SRM in the back?. A Hatchetman catches a Locust without the pilot, sorry, MechWarrior even noticing?. Unbelievable. Still, it has a couple of nice moments, which is why I'm giving it two stars and putting it above the Camacho's Caballeros disasters. It's just another book that shows why the BTech novels should have been written by just Stackpole and another 2-3 very selected authors.

This review is from: Star Lord (Battletech series) (Paperback)
Star Lord is an incredable story about an ancient terror reborn and out for conquest. Possing as an elite unit they raid several planets.. However Thomas Marik isn't going to have this unit used so he going to have soem of his Knights imperosnate down-on-there-luck mercs with the help of some the surviors of the false Knights army and teach this terror not to play with fire.....
