The Wolves and Jade Falcons need to regather their strength after Clan in-fighting almost tears them apart.
In the Inner Sphere, Doc Trevana is assigned an under equipped, green bunch of troops stationed on t dead end planet of Coventry.
To show they still have some worth, the Falcons attack the planet Doc is stationed on.
The mech action is good when it happens, but there's quite a bit of politicking going on in this book.
Katherine/Katrina Steiner is trying to extend her grip on the Lyran Alliance while her brother Victor watches over the remains of the Federated Commonwealth.
Stackpole writes a good Battletech novel as usual - this book would have suffered with the lack of action by many of the other authors.
None of the characters are superfluous, and this is a good lead in to the Twilight of the Clans arc.
