Stalwart allies of the Star League and the ideals it stands for, the men and women of the Eighth Recon Battalion are about to have their own ideals tested on the world of Radstadt. For when an invading mercenary force assaults a massive Draconis Combine prison complex, the Light Horse warriors are faced with the choice of risking their lives to defend convicted prisoners. But the Eridani Light Horse has never shied from a mission or a challenge, but repelling the invaders will try them in ways they could never have expected…
Author Jason Hansa brings us a tale of a battalion that are having a fun night when the call comes in for battle stations. Once they're pulled from their party that battalion heads for the region where the drop ships are coming down. Along with the battle mechs are a tank battalion too and they fight for all they have as merchs come out and take out some of the surrounding buildings of which happen to be prisons. This is a great novella and I'm looking forward to reading the third book in the Mercenary tales trilogy. I highly recommend it to all science fiction fans and Gundam fans too,
Great story. Tells of the early missions of the Eridani Light Horse. Look forward to seeing more stories soon both in the Star League era up to the ilClan era..
