3.0

A good read. My first book about battletech/mechwarrior; the choice to read it was inspired by the computer game released this year. I found it to be above pulp level, with an acceptable level of explanation into the "science", and not as heavy as some of the titans in the field (e.g. the Honor Harrington books), which has its positives and negatives of course.
Michael Stackpole has written multiple books in the Star Wars and Battletech universes, and others. This was my first introduction to him as well as to Battletech fiction.
