A well-written story..., Jun 15 2006
By A. D. Asher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mechwarrior Dark Age 20 Trial By Chaos (Paperback)
There is so much that I would like to say here, but I will be brief and to the point. I have read fifty books in the Battletech series, all of the books in the previous Mechwarrior series, and all of the Mechwarrior Dark Age books.
This book is one of the best that I have read in any Battletech series. I look forward to the next one this author writes in this series.

Slow start, Fantastic Finish, July 21 2006
By Lee F "RangerLee" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mechwarrior Dark Age 20 Trial By Chaos (Paperback)
The only thing keeping this book from 5 stars for me is the slow start. It is very well written and Steven York does a good job in building your interest in the characters. Understanding that a bit of back history is needed to understand why the Ghost Bears Galaxy named Raging Bears are on Vegan; the beginning is slow but informative.
Midway through the book the story really picks up, and it never slows down. With a very strong finish you are left wanting to know what will happen next to this world. If you are a fan of the Mechwarrior/Battletech novels this is worth picking up.

A Solid Entry Overall, Feb 15 2010
By The Cop Who Reads - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mechwarrior Dark Age 20 Trial By Chaos (Paperback)
This was a surprisingly solid work of fiction in an extremely unpredictable story arc concerning the quality of its authors. I've always been a fan of the Ghost Bears themselves, and their progressive adaptation in the face of changes across the Inner Sphere was well addressed throughout this novel. Solid characterization, an able grasp of the social aspects of a very liberal element in what's regarded as an already liberal clan...Mr. York definitely did his homework.
My only (albeit minor) issue with the work itself is one that's been a common theme for most of the Dark Age authors; the Mech combat. This aspect has ranged from 'completely-missed-the-mark/watched-episodes-of-Go-Bots-for-research' to 'just-a-little-funky'. There was nothing major in this novel, but there were a number of odd quirks that indicated to me that the author likely could've paid a little more attention to this aspect of his work. There were also a couple of minor pacing issues, but all and the same, these weren't heavy enough to me to detract from a full five star rating.
All in all, Mr. York has created a seriously compelling element within the Dark Age universe, which after some completely inadequate entries, could use all of said element it can get. I truly hope that this individual is retained for further work in the Battletech universe as a whole.
Listmania!
