Battletech 42: Prince of Havoc: Twilight of the Clans VI

The first time, the Battletech novels made it to Germany, I became a fan of them. And to be perfectly honest after having read the other 41 novels, too, I can say that "Prince of Havoc" is the best one so far. The Jags are drowned in their own blood and cruelty, the Clan Invasion has ended (at least as long as the Wolfs and Jade Falcons are busy) and the Inner Sphere has radically changed. The role of being the bad guys has shifted from House Liao to House Steiner (thanks to Katherine Steiner's blood-thirst I can live with that - as a native Kraut). Michael Stackpole has managed to maintain such a high level of tension and incredible surprises and changes throughout the entire storyline, I can hardly wait for the story to be contiuned!Let's just hope that we do not have to wait too long!

This book has what I call a hard hitting storyline, that kind of leaves the reader wanting more but the books ends on a note of continued in next book feeling.This book is just what I like from Stackpole.It hits you hard between the eyes and says take that because I have more to beat you with.

OK, so the classic Battletech universe is dead. Has been. That was shattered in '88 when Stackpole and Charette invented the Clans. And anyone who didn't think the Clans were planned WELL in advance hasn't read the OUTSTANDING _Wolves On The Border_. And so the Star League is reborn. This just means there is a new wrinkle to the plot around the corner. Will they whack Omi Kurita, ruining Victor's only love in life? Will Katherine finally get what she has coming? No one knows. HURRY UP WITH THE NEXT ONE!

This is one of the best books of the Twilight of the Clans Series. The downfall of the Clans and the heroism of Prince Victor is crystal clear. I can't wait till FEDCOM is Victor's again. I'm sure he has something in store for Katrina. Read this for sure.

So far everything that Michael Stackpole has touched in the Battletech Universe has turned to gold. This is no exception. The culmanation of over a year is without disapointment.Even though so many questions are answered in this book Mr. Stackpole has opened so many other doors that I cannot wait for the next book even though I finished this one yesterday.
