Reviews

[J Murdock · Rating 3 out of 5]

These shorts could be better as a single book.

Not much story in the few pages here. Take out the mundane, boring and needless commentary from the media in the book and there's not much here. Basic story dragged out over multiple books. Should be $1.50 each if a 300 page novel is $6. I've read every Battletech book ever made. Wokeism, shorts and anything other than true Battletech lore hurts the legacy.
