Query: Not worth the effort

I saw this on [an auction website] and went to the trouble of bidding for it. DON'T BOTHER. The small tidbits of the story you can glean out of other Battletech books pretty much give you the idea. Poor characterizations of Hanse Davion and Ardan Sortek and a bland story line make this novel a chore to read. The story discusses House Liao's attempt to insert a double on the throne of the Federated Suns. Hanse Davion, leader of the Federated Suns, along with Ardan Sortek must stop Liao from succeeding. Stick with Michael Stackpole for good stories about House Davion or Robert Charrette for stories about House Kurita.
