BattleTech: Riptides.
A NEW ERA IS DAWNING…
The Illician a mercenary outfit with centuries of honorable tradition, yet somehow always missing the limelight. Especially recently, after their mission failure during the liberation of New Syrtis in 3147 tarnished their once-sterling reputation and left them languishing on the Capellan border. Can Colonel Luciana Araya Morales overcome the shame of those events and restore the Lancers to their former glory?
Meanwhile, as Clan Wolf prepares for its invasion of the cradle of humanity, Ya’el Labov, saKhan of the Sea Fox Khanate, hunts for new opportunities in the currents wafting from Terra. Rumors that the Clan Wolf Khan is using mercenaries as part of his attack plan set the wily saKhan’s mind to spinning. How can he take advantage of this, and make Clan Sea Fox’s star rise even further?
Two people with very different goals are about to embark on a shared mission that, if successful, will change much in the Inner Sphere. And if they are not, their alliance may be doomed to failure before it can even begin…

Author Randall N. Bills brings us the opening tale in the Mercenary tales trilogy. Clan Wolf is looking to invade the inner sphere worlds but they know that they needed a strike force to go in first. They higher the Illician Lancers for the job. Even though the Khan of the clan dons't want anyone to know that they've taken on Mercs for the job. Clan Wolf dose agree to the terms that the Merc's have set down and they prepare for the invasion. This is a great short novella and I highly recommend it to all mech fans.
