Even More Disappointing,
By Greg Coffey (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech 54 Storms Of Fate (Mass Market Paperback)
I am addicted to the story of Victor Davion and the FedCom civil war. Unfortunately the only stuff that's going around is not very good. Coleman once again proves that he is afraid of characterization, while hiding behind endless droning battles. Perhaps if he stopped before each battle scene and asked himself "Does this battle serve any purpose whatsoever to this story?" and then did not write the battle after the inevitable answer of "no-this might have been a readable book. I am very interested in finding out how the civil war ends, but I sincerely doubt I can stand another one of Coleman's putrid stories.

A Solid Addition to the Shelves of Battletech Fans,
By KJC of WOLF (Reno, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech 54 Storms Of Fate (Mass Market Paperback)
Like its sister book Patriots and Tyrants, Storms of Fate is a very solid book. As I have noticed, many Stackpole fans grieve his departure from FASA and criticize Coleman's work. I find Coleman's style much more interesting. He has a much more personal insight to his characters and, overall, I like his version of Victor Davion much better than Stackpole's. Storms of Fate begins with a bang with a terrible twist involving the assassination of a person very dear to Victor. It rises continually in action involving the politics of the Star League Council and it ends and leaves you hanging and hungering for more. The political issues in this book are masterfully created and I believe that Coleman lives up to, if not surpasses, Stackpole's legacy. Read this book. You will not be able to set it down. This is definitely worth your six bucks.

Civil war continues,
By
This review is from: Battletech 54 Storms Of Fate (Mass Market Paperback)
I've followed the Davion/Steiner drama for many years. This newest volume fits the bill. Loren Coleman does a good job in showing how Victor's forces don't always win and when they do, it's not always pretty. The loss of one of the BTech characters, though, seemed trite. Still, it adds a touch of realism to the BTech storyline and will (hopefully) provide some fireworks as the civil war appears to be winding down. Coleman remains a good author and provides BTech fans with a solid novel continuing the main storyline. I'm continually pleased to see the continuity between the Davion/Steiner novels over the past 5-10 years.
