Reviews

[Akeel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it years ago and recently listened to the audiobook... the story has such a Traveller feel and could easily see this being adapted into a scenario for that game from Classic to Mongoose 2... of course the keith brothers wrote this story and they have such a wealth of Traveller material under their belt

[Vicente Serrano Lespier · Rating 4 out of 5]

A thrilling action packed story from 2 famed Battletech authors, as a Legion unit fights for survival inside enemy held territory after a coup takes down the Terran friendly government.

[Charles (erick) Fritz II · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great, suspenseful writing.
