Battletech: Sniper

Battletech: Sniper #1-2

by Jason Schmetzer

It is the year 3027, and the Inner Sphere is at war. Thousand of worlds, controlled by the feuding lords of the Successor States. Centuries of near-constant warfare have left the feudal realms exhausted and near collapse, but none will surrender.
National armies clash on hundreds of worlds, and proxies bought for coin—mercenaries—fight on countless more. Mighty MechWarriors lead their BattleMechs like the ancient knights of old, but they are not the only soldiers. Fusion-powered tanks, heavily armored and nearly as powerful as ’Mechs, roam the battlefields, and few are as deadly as Halsten’s Brigade, in the service of House Steiner’s Lyran Commonwealth. Even fewer are as deadly as gunner Sniper Jones, the man even MechWarriors fear.

Sniper collects two previously-published short stories from BattleCorps.com: "Sniper" and "Panzer."

[Shawn · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was a lot of fun to read a novella in the B-Tech universe where it did not center around a MechWarrior and/or one of the 5 Major Houses. It was a good story, but it left me wanting more detail at the end of the novella on what happens to this character in the future.
