5.0 out of 5 stars
Thanks from the author,
By Loren Coleman (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech 56 Endgame (Mass Market Paperback)
I'd like to thank everyone who made my time as a BattleTech author an enjoyable one. I had a great deal of fun writing these stories. Hopefully you had as much reading them. Endgame is the last official -paperback- novel for Classic BattleTech, and I did my best to wrap up as many major plotlines as I could. Don't forget, however, that the stories coninue in the MechWarrior: Dark Age novel line (circa 3130) and the BattleCorps.com project which stays with the original and historical timelines. Let all your friends know that official BattleTech stories will continue!

Goes out with a wimper,
This review is from: Battletech 56 Endgame (Mass Market Paperback)
I have collected the entire Battletech series of paperbacks and the only good thing I can say about how this "end of this generation" finale opus is that it completes my set. I've read that the authors who picked up the task of finishing the series worked off Michael Stackpole's original outline but that outline apparently did not allow for the build up over the last 20 books to fizzle out in a couple of hundred pages. Weak at best and with a cliff hanger ending that has no where to go with this generational ending. Very, very, disappointing. If you're a Battletech fan and want to know how the FedCom civil war ends and what happens to Katherine/Katrina pass on this book and just imagine an ending of your own choice.

Endgame (Battletech, 56),
By Shane Hurd (Alaska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech 56 Endgame (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the Battletech Series while it was going... but this finally was anti-climactic at best. It did tie up most of the main political storylines... and most of the characters seemed true to their previous writings, of which ones were included anyway. Several key players were left out of the finally... or written as ghosts mentioned in passing but no real place in the book.Even worse than that... The author began a new storeyline in the last few pages of this book... the last of the series. Yes, I know Wiz Kids picked up the contract to keep the same writers working on the new storyline... but it's several genrations later... there's no room for this ghostly storyline to grow. In short, it felt like a hurry-up ending... following an old outline, without any real depth. About the only new development was the expansion of Peter and Isis as characters rather than shadows. I was happy to read it... and anyone else following the story will want to read it, but overal I felt cheated.
