BETWEEN TWO MASTERS...Colonel Felix Blucher's orders from the Archon were simple enough: quash the Davion Loyalist uprising on Thorin. But Blucher never planned on facing the fearless Archer Christifori, local militia leader and decorated MechWarrior in the Clan Wars.
As tension rise between Blucher's Lyran Alliance and the Davion Loyalist population, Archer is torn between obedience to the Archon or allegiance to his people. But when Blucher's forces go too far, Archer takes up the show more Loyalist cause and becomes commander of the rebel army.

- Dedication
- To my wonderful wife, Cyndi, and my children, Victoria Rose and Alexander William. To my parents, who supported my interest in gaming and writing when it made no sense at all. To one of my favorite authors—Harry Turtledove,... (show all) who provides me with countless hours of entertainment. And to all of my friends who put up with this very weird hobby of mine— being an author.
And, as always, to my alma mater, Central Michigan University. - First words
