Good Sequel

The first book in the series, Lethal Heritage sets the stage for the action that is to follow in the next novels. This one is a great continuation to the storyline and if you like the book as much as I have, it will leave you wanting for more, thus directing you to read the following novel, Lost Destiny. In this novel we see what the Clans are up to, how they're organizing themselves for the invasion and how their resistance is gathering up the forces needed to repel the threat. Stackpole once again shows how great of a writer he is. Great character development, description and great plot. Don't miss out! Once you're done reading the Blood of Kerensky Trilogy, if you want to continue reading into the Clan Era [years 3049-3059] here is the order you should read the other novels: Lost Destiny Natural Selection Assumption of Risk Bred for War Malicious Intent

Good, but could have been better.

First off, major kudos to the reader of this series. He does a great job of changing his voice to separate the characters and keeping the mood of the series. The sound effects were decent as well. They did a pretty good job with the abridgment, unfortunately they cut out many of the little things that made the originals great instead of just good. Anyone new to the series wont notice a thing and us veterans can add the missing paragraphs and ocasional chapter ourselves. With 2 more voice actors, a little better sound effects and the full text this would have been a great buy even if they'd upped the price... As it is, it's still a good series that you can spend a long time listening to.

Hooked me to the BattleTech Universe

This book, no doubt, is masterfully written and is also science fiction action at its finest. The vibrant characters are brought to life by good quality writing, and detailed descriptions. Though this is the second book in the significantly important trilogy to the BT universe, I haven't read the first book, yet I clearly understand what had previous happened, thanks to Mr. Stackpole's crisp, prominent writing. It is a definite must for all BT fans, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys science fiction.

A great sequel from Lethal Heritage that leads the way into Lost Destiny. The action in this book gives me chills. All the heroic action, from Phelan's life with Clan wolf, to Victor Davion's daring plans, is here. Stackpole rules!!

A must read for fans!!!!!!

The book kept me going the whole way. I have been reading Battletech for years and this is by far one of the best. Anyone who does not read this book will be missing out on a good piece of action. Hats off to Stockpole......
