3.0 out of 5 stars Usual, competent Stackpole, Feb 20 2004
It's always amusing to see Michael A. Stackpole portray Victor Steiner-Davion as the greatest man in the universe despite his general incomptence, twisted morality and lack of likeability. Thankfully Victor rarely appears in this book.
"Bred for War" has many different storylines, all competently handled, that advance the general history of the Inner Sphere in 3057. Don't even think about reading this book if you're not familiar with the BattleTech setting. We have the resurgence of the Capellan Confederation and the Free Worlds League, the Refusal War between Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon, and the widespread turmoil caused by the afore-mentioned Victor's stupid choices. There's a well-balanced mix of action and intrigue, none of it particularly gripping - but like I said, this is standard, competent Stackpole. You don't expect the Earth and you don't get it, either.
The stand-out is the storyline involving the planet Zurich and Noble Thayer, a writer looking for a quiet hideaway who turns out to be much more than he seems when a revolution sweeps through. This would have been worth a book on its own.
One final point. When is Stackpole going to learn something - anything - about women's clothes?

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hard hitting book from Stackpole., April 6 2000
By "gmoore70" (Harrison, AR USA) - See all my reviews
This is the fourth book that I own. You need to get this book.A plan of deception goes bad, a clan raid,a sister bent on over throwing her brother,a nasty war, just seems to explode in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another stirring adition to the Battletech universe!, Nov 18 1999
By A Customer
In this triumph by one of my favorite authors, political intrigue and raw action mix together. Carrying the reader away. The pages fly by as a stellar drama is played out. A must read for any fan of either the author, or the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bred for war is the best of the series
Going through the Clan civil war, this is probably the best of the battletech series. If you've played Mechwarrior 2 this is a book that is a "must read." Good hunting
