5.0 out of 5 stars A well-written story..., June 15, 2006
By A. D. Asher (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mechwarrior: Dark Age #20: Trial By Chaos (A BattleTech Novel) (Paperback)
There is so much that I would like to say here, but I will be brief and to the point. I have read fifty books in the Battletech series, all of the books in the previous Mechwarrior series, and all of the Mechwarrior Dark Age books.

This book is one of the best that I have read in any Battletech series. I look forward to the next one this author writes in this series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow start, Fantastic Finish, July 21, 2006
This review is from: Mechwarrior: Dark Age #20: Trial By Chaos (A BattleTech Novel) (Paperback)
The only thing keeping this book from 5 stars for me is the slow start. It is very well written and Steven York does a good job in building your interest in the characters. Understanding that a bit of back history is needed to understand why the Ghost Bears Galaxy named Raging Bears are on Vegan; the beginning is slow but informative.

Midway through the book the story really picks up, and it never slows down. With a very strong finish you are left wanting to know what will happen next to this world. If you are a fan of the Mechwarrior/Battletech novels this is worth picking up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Story sucked., June 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mechwarrior: Dark Age #20: Trial By Chaos (A BattleTech Novel) (Paperback)
I am shocked at the positive reviews. This book started out so good with a decent mix of action and interesting political intrigue. By the end though this book turned into utter garbage and it made me root for the Draconis Combine. I mean come on! Clans become all about family and love. The Raging Bears became the Raging Gay Bears. Over all this book was dull and lacking in mech action. I would recommend skipping this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Entry Overall
This was a surprisingly solid work of fiction in an extremely unpredictable story arc concerning the quality of its authors. Read more
