4.0 out of 5 stars Could there be hope?, Jun 24 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fortress of Lies (Mechwarrior: Dark Age, No. 8) (Paperback)

I must say that this was one of the best MW:DA books yet. The story was interesting and informative, and the characters contained much more depth than found in many Dark Age novels. One problem I had was that some of the characters' personalities, i.e. Erik, seemed inconsistant with previous writtings, but this seems to be one of the trends with the Dark Age books.
Although some of this book was predictable, it was still quite enjoyable to read.

Well written, Doesnt further the dark age saga much but introduces the main faces behind the davion loyalist splinter group, swordsworn. York gave the book a good suprise but not overly corny ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Learning about a new faction, Mar 4 2004

This review is from: Fortress of Lies (Mechwarrior: Dark Age, No. 8) (Paperback)

This MechWarrior novel gives us a look at the SwordSworn Faction. Headed by Duke Aaron Sandoval, the reader learns about the Duke's plans to carve a piece of the Republic for House Davion. Aaron's cousin, Eric Sandoval, returns as a more developed character who is coming into his own as a player in this interstellar power struggle. The book moves at a rapid pace and does a good job at advancing the Dark Age storyline. As another reviewer noted, it is interesting to see the Sandovals, in essence, breaking their oaths to the Republic, but at the same time, their loyalty to House Davion remains strong. It will be interesting to see if WizKids continues the old BattleTech trend of having the Davions/Sandovals win all of the time at the expense of the Capellans/Kuritas. This book seems to be leaning towards that interpretation, but with the twist of Sandoval greed and selfishness thrown in instead of Davion "honor." Fans of the series will most likely enjoy this book due to its inclusion of some of the major characters from the game and for the continuity of the families from the previous BattleTech series.
