Another batch of anthology stories in the Battletech Universe. I enjoyed Bye-Bye Brigade the most out of the stories presented, although the one with the Kurita drive tech was interesting as well, because it's not something you often see stories about.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of good stories in this volume.
There is good range of timelines, Houses and Clans, and types of action.
I did miss more of my favorite Federated Suns.
