Great, but again?,
By "viscardi" (Brasilia, Brazil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Battletech 30 Impetus Of War (Paperback)
Ok. this story is well written and exciting but the plot is a hundred novels old! Let's start: first, they plan on attacking a clan world that should be garrisoned only by a PGC, but find out ,too late of course, that they have a front line unit on the planet, which also happened to Prince Davion in Lethal heritage and to the Black Thorns in DRT. Then they lose their ability to take off from the planet,what has happened to almost all units, mercenary and regular alike, everytime an assault is planed on the Battletech universe, then, like all the other books, one of the characters comes up with an uncanny way of saving the day. I'm not saying that the book is bad, just that the story is not as inventive as it may appear.

Excellent Book,

This review is from: Battletech 30 Impetus Of War (Paperback)
This book was my first book in the Battletech series and it got me hooked. The descriptions of actual battles are excellent. Blaine Lee Pardoe should definetly bring back the Northwind Highlanders in his next Battletech book. From what I gather this shows one of the few examples where the Inner Sphere works together instead of having internal strife. I also like the plan Jaffery comes up with; it shows imagination. I will definetly get all the books.

Simply great,
This review is from: Battletech 30 Impetus Of War (Paperback)
Ever wander what a real clash between two clans that really hate each other is? You will have a great taste when Smoke Jaguars and Nova Cats just ignore one of the great mercenary units of the Inner Sphere (Highlanders) to fight to the death. This book make you comprehend what fighting the clans in their own land is like: you have to use every trick in the book and in your brain, expend every breath of your men and women (until they die, of course), not to win, just to stay alive to maintain hope... although, against the clans, either you win or you die.
