Probably two hundred pages of build up for what was a very satisfying Mech battle at the end, but it took a lot of perseverance to get there. I did like the Battletech universe lore, and the very vivid descriptions of how Mechs actually work. It really does match up quite well to the mechanics of the miniatures game and will give me some cool perspective for the next time I play the game. ( ) I believe this was the first real Battlebook novel release outside of a short story collection. It was written to show an example of how the Battletech universe and system works and does this fairly well. The only thing really missing is examples of AeroSpace fighters although I believe they come along in the next book. It's not full of technical jargon, a problem with some of the future novels that assume the reader is familiar with the Battletech universe. References to the political situation of the time period are explained as well. The only problem I have with the book is that the members of the Grey Death Legion have this annoying habit of making their head shots and taking out enemy mechs with a single blow. That's unrealistic of the game which makes it hard to do. To me this was done in an attempt to limit the combat portions of the book. Not a negative but just unrealistic to me. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Thirty meters tall, seventy tons of quick-striding death and destruction, the armored war machines called BattleMechs are the front line forces of the crumbling star empire locked in the horror of the endless Succession Wars. Their pilots are MechWarriors, 31st-Century knights riding armored machines powerful enough to take a city apart.
Grayson Death Carlyle had been training to be a MechWarrior since he was 10 years old, but his graduation came sooner than expected. With his friends and family dead and his father's regiment destroyed, young Grayson finds himself stranded on a world turned hostile. Now he must learn the hardest lesson of all: it takes more than a BattleMech to make a MechWarrior...
But, to claim that title, all Grayson has to do is go out and capture one of those giant killing machines...if it doesn't kill him first. No library descriptions found. |
