Most boring Batteltech book I've read
This is not the best Battletech novel I've ever read. By and large, the story revolves around a single competent Draconis Combine warrior (samurai) and his bumbling superior officers.
As plainly stupid as the other officers of the Draconis Combine apparently are, the Draconis Combine is still a Successor State to be reckoned with, although I'm not sure how. Wolf's Dragoons are finagled into working for them and then being set up by them to look like idiots and traitors. Exactly why the Combine hires them and then does this is never really made clear.
In the end, the good samurai chooses his "honor" instead of standing up to his inferior superiors - a little bit of a yawner.
