BattleTech

Icons of War

By: Craig A. Reed

Narrated by: Tren Sparks

SYMBOLS OF POWER....

After the Word of Blake exacts an incalculable toll on Clan Wolf, Elemental warrior Garmen Kerensky is tasked by Wolf Khan Vlad Ward to undertake an audacious top-secret mission in the Clan Homeworlds. While other covert teams help the Wolves evacuate Clan Space, Garmen’s command will steal the most prized relic of Clan history: the body of the Great Father, Commanding General Aleksandr Kerensky, Garmen’s ancestor. But the father of the Clans’ founder is entombed aboard the McKenna’s Pride, a Star League-era WarShip in permanent geosynchronous orbit above the Clans’ capital city, a staunchly guarded vessel that will take ingenuity, a warrior’s spirit, and more than a little luck to reach.

Stealing his ancestor’s remains is a tall order under normal circumstances, but the Homeworld Clans are on the verge of open warfare with each other, and this mission threatens to blow Clan society apart entirely. As the elite warrior guards of the Ebon Keshik hunt Garmen, he and his hardened team must navigate the intrigue of the shadowy Dark Caste to have any hope of reaching the Pride alive. But no plan ever survives enemy contact, and Garmen must overcome the forces arrayed against him or risk forever losing the Great Father’s body to the chaos and destruction of the Clans’ internal warfare.

Quite possibly the best Battletech book I've read

I'm very impressed with this book. The story seemed like it was going to be fairly pedestrian, but it just kept getting better as it went. The characters are written well and it was easy to see the story in your mind. This was book unexpectedly excellent. I might actually give it a second listen, which I never do.

Great writing and narrating

Great writing and characters from Mr. Reed, awesome narrating from Tren Sparks. Great book!

Great Story!

Terrific story and well written. Really could have fleshed it out a bit more even, but I’m excited to see what’s in the future for the ship and it’s cargo.

Sayla

This was a very cool story a quite unique one for Battletech with well written characters and some good story arcs. Great tension and a great conclusion. Audible can we get more Battletech quiaff?

Outstanding

I want more books to follow this series, are there anymore? Please reply if any.

Too much weird clan vocab

Barely any battletech fights. Mostly aerospace / warship battles. Tons of weird clan vocab, it should have a glossary at the beginning. Not a fan if you’re from the 3050 era.
