Yet another Battletech(tm) book. Looks like they're starting a new
series with this one; a standard coming-of-age tale that wears its
debt to half-a-dozen other pieces of generic military fiction rather
obviously. Oh, well, it's at least competent hackery. Seems
primarily to be a sort of book-length establishing shot for the
further adventures of Aidan the warleader. Battletech fans will
enjoy; everyone else can ignore.
CORRECTION:
Due to a slight collision in my hash tables, I recently mis-identified Fallen Angels as a Hugo nominee. The book I had in mind was Queen Of Angels by Greg Bear.
RECEIVED BUT NOT REVIEWED:
Dragonsword #2: Duel Of Dragons by Gael Baudino. Is any other explanation than the name really necessary?
Star Trek #56: Legacy by Michael Jan Friedman.
Merovingen Nights #7: Endgame, C. J. Cherryh (ed.)
