Where are the incredible fights?
The new generation is a great replacement for the old mechwarriors of the Gray Death Legion, mixing them with veterans like McCall just to spice things a little (McCall is too good to be missing). BUT, almost 3/4 of the book are just talk, and planning, and guessing, etc. I know all what surrounds a mech confrontation (I'm a player), and I don't need more than 200 pages to remind me. Where are the great fights that draw our hearts to the Gray Death Legion? Except for Davis Clay, the rest are just faceless warriors. And to make things worst, the book does not end, and doesn't tell you where is the second part (by the way, does somebody know so I can buy it?) If you want to know all the activities that surround a mech battle (in detail, I assure you), read it, if not, well, is better to grab a board and a couple of dice and start blowing away some armor.

Great series
I loved the Price of Glory, and Blood of Heroes was a great continuation of the adventures of the Gray Death Legion. I liked the shift of main characters, going from Grayson and Lori to their son Alex, McCall, Caitalin, and DeVillar. Alex is a good character, although he's kind of a spaz in a mech, with the slugging match he takes his Archer into against a Battlemaster. Not too bright. I loved the book, and I can't wait for more.

Terrific!
For all of us Battletech fans, this is MUST read,especially if you're a true fan of the Gray Death Legion. After reading 'The Price of Glory', I thought I'd never hear from the Gray Death Legion again, but low and behold, they are back and with a vengenace. This book gives a great rundown of the second Skye Rebellion from the 'little mans' point of view. BUY IT!


Technical Readout 3050/Battletech: The Return of Kerensky

Good all around
If you play the Clans, you NEED this book. Great data on all the major Clan 'Mechs. Some say it's not as good as TR3025 or TR3060. The books cannot be compared. 3025 was IS only. 3060 included a whole lot of Level 2.5 tech, and introduced ProtoMechs. But 3050 was just 'Mechs, Clan and IS. The new IS Mechs aren't that great, and some aren't well thought out, but you must remember that at this time 100% of FASA's creativity was directed toward the Clans.

Review of TR 3050
this is a must have for anyone who plays battle tech. Interesting mechs and vehicles. But it isn't as good as TR 3025 or 3060.

A GREAT ACTION/ADVENTURE TIME TRAVEL SERIES!
I read all these books some years ago and they were all very good and entertaining. Hunter and his team fight time travelling russians and it is fun to read. A must for fans of action and sci-fi!

Inferno, the Nyotekundu Outpost at Wolf 359.

The Azanians set up the first Outpost in the Wolf 359 system, and called it "Nyotekundu". This Sourcebook covers Inferno, the two Outposts on it, the Nyotekundu system, and the Orbital Mining Station Andrew Carnegie.

Included are a couple of adventures (including a sub-plot that can be used for players who've read the module), extensive information on the OMS, its crew, equipment, and systems. Different ways to bring the PCs into the adventure are also included.

One of the more interesting aspects of this module is the Medusa This race is unknown to man, in 2300.

The _Nyotekundu Sourcebook_ also has new rules and new skills, such as Robotics, Spin Operations, Zero-G, and Scooter Pilot. Lots of neat new stuff appears in this module!

For PCs who prefer a more investigative campaign, as opposed to Kafer-killing, this adventure is made-to-order. Perfect for that team of Troubleshooters. END

A thorough book covering all basic aspects of the game
The skills of cricket provides a very authorative guide to the basic skills of cricket. It includes all the major aspects of cricket such as batting, fast bowling, spin bowling and less written about aspects such as captaincy and the mental approach to the game. The sections on 'Frequently-Asked Questions' are also very useful. Whilst going into sufficient detail to satisfy all except those at the highest level of the game, this book never manages to lose or confuse its reader. The perfect gift for any aspiring, young cricketer!!

Large fine book
I think Dominic has panned the book needlessly. It is not that bad. It is a large book and yes the popups are not the best but they are not bad either. It is definitely a book to have in ones collection. Couple of the pops are large and deserving of attention.

Frank Lloyd Wright in Pop-Up
I have collected pop-up books for 35 years and must disagree with Dominic. Yes, the book is fragile, nearly all large pop-up books are (most books this size will develop splits in the gutters if you are not extremely careful). I feel the pop-ups are in keeping with Wright's work. I especially enjoyed the accompanying text and plans. I'm very happy to include this in my collection.

Dignity, Spendour, and Grandeur.
This book of Pop-ups, side by side with the building photographs and original plans and drawings, show all the beauty and majesty of Frank Lloyd Wright's most famous buildings. It's done with grace, and beauty, and style befitting the nature and purpose of the book. The pop-ups are elegant, simple, and yet breathtaking.

Like most pop-up books, it is fragile, paper engineering being what it is. I have yet to see a pop-up book that isn't as fragile as a flower. You should keep this book out of the reach of children. But, it should make a beautiful coffee table item for thoughtful adults, but again, it's destined to be a wonderful collectors item, so only take it out for special occasions.

I read Dominic's review and completely disagree. As a pop-up book collector, I expect pop-ups to be only as complex or realistically depicted as makes sense to its art and that of the story. The pop-ups cleverly give you the illusion of standing back and viewing the structures from a great distance as opposed to viewing a 3 dimentional, detailed miniature.

It works beautifully.

Entertaining. A must for hard core military sci-fi fans!
An aristocratic soldier is shown what it is like to start at the bottom after a retreat in shame from a command he lost thru fear. Joining the Legion he learns hard lessons about honor, teamwork and life.

Good Book with action and plot
Reminds me of 19th century europe. But gives you a futuristic view of things.

This book has excellent pictures from lloyd webber's shows. The text is just adequate, with no new information. I liked michael walsh's book better, and I'm glad it's being updated.
