Battletech 35: The Hunters: Twilight of the Clans 3

This is the first book I have from Thomas S. Gressman in the battle tech universe. Without a doubt A BOOK YOU MUST BUY! My friend Kit Kaboodle also requests that you buy it.

To all those who complain that this book didn't have enough "cool 'mech combat" I must say that drama is more than combat. The atmosphere of tension hanging over the characters in this book was palpable. The naval battle was incredible. The end was........well, I'll let you find out for yourself. A great read.

This book truly opens the Battletech universe. With masterful writing, the author brings to life breathtaking space and land battles. Bringing a previously neglected side of the universe into play.

The hunters offers an almost non stop searies of fights as the inner sphere strikes back, facing warships- the most powerful weapons ever built in the battletech univers.

This is the first major strike against the Clan homeworlds, following a trail blazed by the Smoke Jaguar defector in the first of the "Twilight of the Clans" series. A huge fleet is assembled, with dozens of ships, including transports and the Inner Core's best warships. Even some new Frigates built using recaptured Star League technology. But most chilling and impressive is the emergence of a 300-year-old Star League battle cruiser-- it had been hidden and hoarded for centuries by Com Star for just such a grand and glorious battle. By far the largest warship in the fleet, and probably the largest in space for that era. Wow! There is one naval engagement with a Ghost Bear fleet, to whet our appetite for action, but the REAL action is building toward the sequel. Think of this novel as "Part 1." Here's good character building, good plot, and good action. Helps forget the stasis and total lack of action of the preceding volume in this series. The Hunters is highly recommended ! ! !
