About this listen

For Ezra Payne and the Stealthy Tiger mercenaries, professionalism is everything. Hired to assist in the bitter, bloody fighting on the planet Hall, they quickly earn a decisive victory for their employer. They settle afterward in for a needed period of rebuilding, and a few months’ peace before moving on to the next contract.

But their respite does not last. More mercenaries, hired by the Allied Mercenary Command itself, land on Hall. They believe the Tigers’ employer to be league with the Word of Blake, a shadowy interstellar organization that worships technology, and which has been building its own empire among the worlds around Terra.

The Tigers want nothing of this battle, but war rages across the Inner Sphere. The hard-fought cease-fire cannot last, even on Hall, and when every faction is embittered and fueled by fervor, peace has no chance at all.

As a new conflict erupts, will the Stealthy Tigers’ BattleMechs be enough to save them? Or will the looming threat of renewed war engulf them in its fiery embrace?

Fantastic story with a good mix of well-written action and political intrigue, an excellent mix for the BattleTech universe. The voice performance was in general ok though severely broken with clear replacement audio clips and sound bites added in with very little effort put in to blend them into the main recording. 3.5 Stars overall, 2.5 for performance due to the quality and editing and a solid 4 for story.

Great book and well narrated, one of the best battle narrators. Keeps you involved and plenty of those moments where it’s hard to pause the book because you need to know what happens next.

Well worth it

Great book,good story, well written and read by Tren. My only issue is the follow up book to this was never finished. It would be nice to get the story wrapped up. Despite that this book is still worth the listen I recommend it.

Good story and narrated well

Loved this book. Much more then just a simple teenager boy book of battles and girlfriend etc.. probably one of the best battletech books I've read or listened too. Definitely would buy a series based on this first book. Alas, battletech books are always so short and sweet...
Thanks.

Excellent

This is quite well written and narrated with good attention to detail regarding the BattleTech universe but it was needlessly complex and pretty weakly characterised.

Well written prose but needlessly convoluted
