This book is included in Battletech Series 2 here on Audible, despite taking place before the books in Series 1, and that was a good decision. Series 1 is the better place to start reading. That's the Blood of Kerensky trilogy, which tell one cohesive story of the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere from about a dozen points of view, in which Theodore Kurita is a minor character. This book, Heir to the Dragon, is about Theodore Kurita's life prior to the Clan invasion, or the 8 or 9 most pertinent hour-long anecdotes thereof, and along the way we get to see a bit about life in the royal court of the Draconis Combine.
There are a few strange things to note. Theodore is apparently a very attractive man and he keeps getting more attractive as he matures...according to the inner monologue of his aunt and cousin, but not his wife. He has a really rocky relationship with his dad you guys; he's overly critical, he never listens, he doesn't understand. It's not fair! Oh, that thing where Theodore promotes Shin Yodama to Chu-Sa in Lethal Heritage by meeting with him personally and finding an excuse to address him by full name and (new) rank? Yeah, they do that about four times in this book, partially as an excuse to bombard the listener with Japanese terms and partially to show you that that's just how it's done in the Combine. Also, the Kurita royal court has like, intrigue and such, there are apparently several different and competing spy networks and orders of turbo ninjas. There are several attempted assassinations and coups and such.
There are several battles depicted, but the book seems to kind of get tired of them and jump ahead a few months or years to the next thing that happens. It's like "So he saw his grandfather get shot when he was six, then there was that time when he was 20 when he got into that sword fight which was all a test, then I guess there was that time he was stationed on that backwater moon because his dad was sick of him, that led to this big battle with the Lyrans where he played this game of cat and mouse with their commanding officer...what else? Oh, then there was that time on the dropship..." It doesn't tell a cohesive story, there isn't an introduction, middle, climax and conclusion. Just here are some things that happened to this character. It's basically 3 hours of exposition.
Long review short, this book is for the people who read the Blood of Kerensky trilogy and then asked "Hey, could you tell me more about the background of that Theodore Kurita guy?"
Not the Battletech novel to start with
