Description
THE CLAN INVASION COMES TO A HEAD…In 2786, the elite Star League Army fled the Inner Sphere, abandoning the senseless bloodshed ordered by the Successor Lords. Now, almost three hundred years later, the Clans, heirs of the Star League Army, turn their eyes back to their former home. Nothing will stop them from raising the Star League banner over Earth again.
For two years, the Clans' BattleMech war machines have overwhelmed the armies of the corrupt Great Houses of the Inner Sphere. Now, show more at the gates of Terra, the Clans must fight one final battle, a battle that will decide the fate of humanity for all time.
For Star Colonel Aidan Pryde of Clan Jade Falcon, the battle is more than a question of military conquest. It is an affirmation of the superiority of the Clan way, a way of life he has sworn to uphold, despite his fear that the noble crusade has fallen prey to the lust for power and ambition of its commanders.

I know this is often held up as one of the great classic Battletech stories, but frankly, I'm glad to be through with it. There's only so much explaining of "the ways of the Clans" I can take. Falcon Guard certainly isn't a bad book - and if you love Clan books, I'm sure you'll like it a lot. I just didn't find it all that riveting.
