Publisher's summary

A test of loyalty....

Clan Jade Falcon’s war efforts draw closer to Terra, but to conquer this ultimate prize, the Falcons’ vicious Khan, Malvina Hazen, must be able to trust all of her warriors to carry out her commands without hesitation—no matter how much death or collateral damage they will cause. For Malvina, victory is the only thing that matters, and those who stand in her way suffer swift and brutal elimination.

Star Captain Archer Pryde is an unconventional Falcon MechWarrior who chafes at carrying out his Khan’s terror tactics, but he delivers results in combat, so Malvina has turned a blind eye to his beliefs so far. But when civilians on a conquered world revolt against their Clan masters, innocents are caught in the Falcons’ crosshairs. Archer and his fellow MechWarriors must prove their mettle to Star Colonel Nikita Malthus, the Khan’s vindictive advisor, by carrying out their scorched-earth orders to the letter. But are these orders a betrayal of what it means to be a true and honorable Jade Falcon?

With both his loyalty and honor in question, Archer must run the gauntlet between duty and principles, or risk his own destruction....

fresh talent improves the franchise!

finally, a battletech novel with a modicum of character development. I liked getting to know this Pryde. so much of Blaine pardoe's work is a bizarre sophomoric fanfiction, it is such a relief to read this pulp and actually be invested and interested in the characters and not some bizarre stretched out timeline. bravo!

A great introduction to BattleTech

I hadn’t read any BattleTech before and this book felt like the perfect intro into this new era of storytelling. And the narrator is really great. Highly recommend.

I'm not much of a clanner but aff this is great.

I've always enjoyed the innersphere perspective more but one in a while the clan based books can be quite enjoyable. I haven't read a lot from the jade falcon perspective so they are often attributed as the big bad in recent Battletech but this novel especially with the unique character of Archer Pyrde showcases that not all jade falcon true borns are so bad. It's a fun shorter novella and I can't wait to read more!

Almost okay

The characters in this were uninteresting and difficult to connect with. The battle scenes were okay. The narration was good, but the story was anemic.This feels more like fan fiction than real writing. Disappointing
