Introduces us to a galaxy where humanity has spread, then splintered into factions, with each trying to rule the whole. Follows one plot to remove a king of one clan" for the furthering of another clan. Nothing special, but enjoyable with promise for a huge amount of stories.

Having never played Battletech/Mechwarrior, I am just getting into this universe. I thought the introduction did a good job of summarizing the galaxy to date." ( )

This is a solid introduction to the Battletech universe. It may have been light on the battle scenes, but it had some great character development and does a good job of setting some groundwork for Stackpole's Warrior trilogy. ( )
