Awesome book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Battletech 53 Call Of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
Call of Duty is one of the best battletech books I have and probably will ever read. Pardoe is an execellent writer. General Archer Chistrifori has been assigned by Victor Davion to go to the planet Odessa and recruit the merc unit Snord's Irregulars from the Loyalist Count Fisk's control. But as things progress but Archer's Avengers and Snord's Irregulars are closer than they think to total destruction

Absolutely Gripping!,

This review is from: Battletech 53 Call Of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
Call of Duty, by Blaine Lee Pardoe, is my personal favorite Battletech book, which surprised me, because, as far as Battletech novels are concerned, I have always preferred Stackpole to Pardoe.This is a very exciting book, and it is never certain what is exactly going on. Victor Davion has ordered Archer Christofi and his Archer's Avengers to Odessa, to try and sway the famous merc group Snord's Irregulars, led by Rhonda Snord, over to Victor's side against Katrina Steiner-Davion and her Lyran Alliance. However, the ruling party, in association with Katrina (who is my LEAST favorite battletech character) have prepared for the occasion. When the Irregulars do not protect Odessa willingly, the Duke of Odessa will do whatever he can to draw them into the fight. I would highly reccommend this book to any Battletech fan, whether newbie or veteran.

A Return to Honor,

This review is from: Battletech 53 Call Of Duty (Mass Market Paperback)
This story continues the exploits of Archers Avengers. The Avengers are ordered to the planet Odessa in order to convince Snord's Irregulars not to renew their contract with Katrina Steiner in the hopes of helping Victor regain control of the splintered FedCom. The storyline is predictable and Archer reminds me of the characters from the old BTech novel Ideal War with the introduction of the Knights of the Inner Sphere. We continue to see the growing conflict within the FedCom, but the last few BTech novels seem mostly filler rather than introducing pertinent elements into this storyline. Hopefully, we'll see some more plot development in the next few novels as it appears that the civil war storyline is winding down. Overall, a good read, but nothing too heavy. As always, I recommend some of the earlier Michael Stackpole novels for background of the FedCom
