COMBAT IS THEIR BUSINESS…
And business is good in the 31st century as the Third Succession
War rages on battlefields ruled by the almighty BattleMech:
ten-meter-tall humanoid machines of pure destruction. Continuous warfare
between the five Great Houses of the Inner Sphere has led to a steep
technological decline, forcing the nobility of these vast interstellar
empires to rely on mercenaries to augment their standing armies and gain
crucial advantages against their enemies. However, that House nobleman
may be paying your unit’s bills one day, but sending you straight into a
trap tomorrow. BattleMechs may be the kings of the battlefield, but
money, power, and machinations are just as important in victory as an
autocannon barrage.
This anthology of hard-hitting BattleTech
action includes six short stories that demonstrate how Machiavellian
nobles, greedy pirates, and desperate mercenary units can change the
course of Inner Sphere history. Take up the cause and charge your way
through war-torn tales by veteran BattleTech authors such as Chris
Hussey, Philip A. Lee, and Craig A. Reed, Jr.
