BattleTech

Forever Faithful

By: Blaine Lee Pardoe

Narrated by: Tren Sparks

SEMPER FIDELIS

In the year 3060, the reborn Star League has destroyed Clan Smoke Jaguar, conquered their home world Huntress, and scattered the few remaining Jaguar warriors to the winds. Now the League seeks to end the Clan invasion for good by using former Smoke Jaguars against their own people.

Meanwhile, two bitter enemies seek to salvage a future for the last Jaguars in existence: Trent, who betrayed his wayward Clan to help them regain their honor, and Paul Moon, a disgraced warrior torn between his pledged loyalty to the Star League and a duty to the Smoke Jaguar civilization he was born to protect.

But power-hungry predators lurk in Clan space, waiting for the right time to strike the vulnerable Star League forces. And to the victor will go the spoils: The priceless artifacts of a destroyed Clan and the sacred genetics of the final generation of Smoke Jaguar warriors.

Trent and Paul Moon must fight tooth and nail against would-be conquerors to save the soul of the surviving Jaguar people before they are consigned to the annals of history. But will their divergent plans tear the survivors apart, or lead them toward freedom?

Battletech fans from the 90s need to come back for this.

I was a huge battletech fan as kid in the 90s. When it was at its peak and bookstores always had battletech books for sale. There was even a Saturday morning cartoon. I read a bunch of novels back then. With gritty mercenary companies and politics of inner sphere houses; I couldn’t get enough. The clan invasion brought it all to new heights. It was a great time in my childhood and I couldn’t get enough.

Then the dark age came and I lost interest for the next 20 years. I would still pull out some older novels but never ventured into anything new largely because there wasn’t anything new outside the dark age. I wasn’t interested after the first two novels in the dark age. But this book was a continuation of the first book in twilight of clans. I had to read it. I read it and got it on audible because its a good book by any standard. After 20 some years of wondering and imagining what happened to Trent it was great. I have already read Rock of the Republic and am starting children of Kerensky. Also the new Kell hounds stuff and the re-emerging of the gray death legion that just came out. All this stuff that harkens back to my childhood. At 35 I feel like a kid again engrossed in a universe I once loved…. It’s nice to be able to love it agin. And the writing and story lines are better than ever.

This was my 4th "Battletech" book .

I've played every "Mechwarrior" video game in the franchise and I'm currently playing "Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries" which is set in the same timeline as this book which made it that much better. So many Mechs, Clans, and Units I remember from the games were in this book. A great listen. I'll be starting a new one tonight. Cheers.

I without a doubt highly recommend this book, or any other battletech book! Battletech has some of my favorite mechanics and world building, I wish more people will find this amazing world of battletech, everything ties together, there are so many storylines going on at once, it’s incredible!

Great story, great narration.

Great stuff here, Blane got the shaft. Battletech is lesser for it. Well worth the purchase price!
