Jihad Hot Spots: 3072
The Glimmer of Hope!
For nearly four years, the fires of war have threatened to consume all the nations of mankind as the Word of Blake's furious campaign of terror and deception raged on. Millions have died, mighty armies have fallen, and ancient empires have shattered, with no end in sight. But even as a all hope seems lost, heroes old and new rise from the ashes of fire-blackened worlds to stand against the chaos and, maybe to start turning the tide at last.
Jihad Hot Spots: 3072 continues the Jihad series, begun with Dawn of the Jihad, bringing the readers into the ongoing chaos and horror of the Sphere-spanning war, as seen from the eyes of those who fight - and die - in the this epic conflict. Players of both Classic BattleTech and the Classic BattleTech RPG will find additional rules and campaign tracks within to continue their campaigns across the Inner Sphere as the Blakist holy war rages on. Finally, Jihad Hot Spots: 3072 contains detailed information on the cyber-soldiers of the Manei Domini, as well as a mini-Technical Readout section - including record sheets for numerous new units, including the six new Celestial-series Word of Blake OmniMechs.

Finished this book late at night and couldn't put it down. For years now I have avoided the Jihad in Battletech, and for good reason. Everything I loved about the world was being either torn down or outright killed.
With that said, the story of it reads like watching a train wreck in cacophonic symphony. It is awesome. I did not think I would enjoy the story and how it all played out, but I am. The sheer brutal efficient destruction that the Word of Blake is doling out is just epic.
Now, there is also the part of me that wonders why the common man puts up with all of this and why they allow their governments to use and abuse them like this. Just grates on me.
Judging from the level of anger and frustration that these book illicit from me, it tells me that they are well written and are doing their job.
I have to say that this plot for Battletech is excellent. I would recommend them to anyone who loves the universe and wants to know what has happened.
