BattleTech: Mercenary's Honor
CONTRACTS MAKE STRANGE ALLIES…
For new mercenary groups just starting out, one of the primary rules is “Follow the money.” Even when it’s being paid by the same people who forced you to become a mercenary unit in the first place.
Ronan and Isobel Carlyle are experiencing this right now, having accepted a contract from the newly-formed Tamar Pact, the cluster of planets that recently seceded from the Lyran Commonwealth—and got the once loyal-Carlyle siblings cashiered as turncoats.
Now the Pact wants the Legion’s help with one of their newer planets, Crimond. But murky mission parameters and an unhelpful liaison officer leaves Ronan and Bel wondering who’s a friend and who’s a foe. And when the Legion splits up to handle two different missions, Bel finds herself an entire continent away, on a mission to scout an abandoned Star League base. But she soon discovers the base—and the nearby community—is anything but abandoned…and if she doesn’t act fast, she and her GDL commandos will receive a welcome they won’t walk away from…

Kind of Short
Okay. So the story itself is very good. The characters are likable and interesting. When you start the book, you see that it is a novella. So you don't expect a long story, the book is165 pages. However, I was disappointed when the story ended on page127. Then you get 22 pages of descriptions of 22 other stories written by the author, followed by 16 pages of definitions of terms and references of still other books. I would have given five stars for the story, but 38 pages of filler is ridiculous.

Not bad for a short story.
Guess we gotta try and build back what the spinless authors took away during "the dark age".
The GDL was always a good read. Let's not ruin it.

Great read.
Great read. Good addition to the new GDL. Cannot wait to see more on them soon. Seem to be heading in the right direction.
