The BEST Battletech book that I've read to date. Started playing/reading Battletech in '93 and this was the first book and I've collected and read EVERY book.

It was hard to put this book down. It kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. This quality of writing is what other writers should strive for!! Not set word limits by the publishers.

and it took the Dragoons to nearly destroy the Dragoons. The ending is an inspiration though it's a twisted road to get there. You definitely have to read Wolves on the Border and Heir to the Dragon before you go to this one, the references will lose you completely. And yeah, I can't believe Zeta Battalion was that jacked up either.

Me, I am far more a 3027 kind of guy, pre-Clans, pre-Dark Age. I don't know when or if the Dragoons will ever resurface. But it's nice to know that for a time the red-trimmed black ruled every battlefield of the Inner Sphere.

This was the first BattleTech book I read. Amazing, compelling story. This is one of the few books that should be made into a movie. It would need more explanation to people not familiar with the BattleTech universe, but if the movie followed the book, it would be outstanding.

This was the first Battletech novel that I read and I've been hooked ever since! I could barely put this book down. The Kerensky Trilogy clears up what happens in the "Clan Invasion" another must read for Battletech fans!

The Wolf's Dragoons Civil War is an interesting story. In order to understand the importance of these mercenaries one must know why they were sent to the Inner Sphere in the first place. As members of the Wolf Clan, they hold different standards, yet when the call was made to return to the Clans, the Wolf's Dragoons refused. They chose to fight on the side of the Inner Sphere over the Clans who sired them. Yet, Colonel Jaime Wolf continued to hold some of the Clan standards including adding in bondsman from the Clans themselves. This led to the Civil War fought on the Wolf's Dragoons homeplanet of Outreach. The story is fascinating and fun! If you love mercenaries you will enjoy this book.

WOW! This is a exellent book. Who knew that the Wolf's Dragoons were from the clans. Not me, until I read the book. This book takes over a little from the book Wolves on the Border, but just a little. The battle for control of the Dragoons is realistic and seams to based on some true life family.

Yes! More of Wolf's Dragoons. This book details the civil war within the Dragoons during the Clan Truce of Tukayyid. New Dragoons are introduced who will play minor parts in later Battletech novels. Personally, I think Robert Charette ranks pretty high up on the list of good Battletech authors. Wolves on the Border and Heir to the Dragon are also good books of his that detail the history of the Dragoons and the Kuritas during earlier conflicts.

This book is very well written, and very easy to follow. The only recommendation I have is read the "Blood of Kerensky" series by Michael Stackpole for clearification of the clan invasion.

When the chips where down Wolf's Dragoons did the job and where the best . They had vantage star league mechs , and Jaime Wolf . Now a bondsman theatens to destory them in a cival war . This book is raw action and if you love you battles big then this is the book to buy !

Charrette is a fantastic writer. He builds up the plot until it bursts with surprising plot twists and good characters
