Battletech: Fall from Glory

Founding of the Clans, Book One

De: Randall N. Bills

FLIGHT INTO THE UNKNOWN.

100 million dead. 500 million wounded. One billion homeless. The worst war in human history is over—and has left the Star League shattered. Jealousy and infighting from the five Great House Lords over who will be the next First Lord has the entire Inner Sphere already teetering on the brink of all-out conflict again.

Against this grim backdrop, Aleksandr Kerensky, commanding general of the Star League Defense Force, faces a terrible choice. Stay, and see the mightiest military ever known subsumed into the Great Houses, lighting a conflagration that may burn even brighter than the terrible Amaris Coup. Or do the unthinkable.

To save the Inner Sphere, Aleksander—along with his sons, Nicholas and Andery—must leave it behind. He marshals the largest fleet ever assembled to carry millions of people on thousands of JumpShips to head into the unknown. Exodus!

But though the Great General strives to make a fresh start for his people far from the Inner Sphere, old habits and allegiances are difficult to leave behind. Soon the Kerenskys and their followers face threats both external and internal as they search the endless black for a new world upon which they can forge a Star League-in-Exile…or die trying.

Great book well read

Love the plot and the narration! Greatly done. The series will hopefully continue next upload!

Great performance and great book

Really great audiobook, the set pieces on Earth under occupation and “Kolyat” and his mother were chilling. It was a pleasure to listen to this.

the history you have been looking for

this book tells the story of the founding kerensky's father then sons and the turmoil that gave birth to the clans. CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT TWO BOOKS OF THE SEIRES TO BE NARRATED. please hurry.

Good and something never touched upon before.

Overall I loved the idea of this; the birth of the Clans. Something in the 30+ years of Battletech, never written in novel form.
The conflict between brothers, and how the Star League in Exile mirrors the conflict that unfolding light years away. My only wish is there be more conflict, mech battle, however this is only the first of three, so the conflicts will pick up.
The performances are great, they’ll keep you motivated to listen on. The story I hope leads to even more interesting stories such as Clan Wolverine? We can only hope.

A Good History Starter for the Clans.

This book has a decent amount of history if the founding of the clans and expands on the history of the Kerensky family. It is definitely worth the read for fans of the Battletech universe; especially Clanners.
