Description
The Clans are in turmoil. Hamstrung by their truce with the hated Inner Sphere and plagued by internal conflict, the once-mighty Clans now race against each other to rebuild their decimated ranks of warriors. One Clan -- the Jade Falcons -- becomes the strongest of all by violating tradition and building an army of both freeborn humans and genetically engineered trueborns. But their pride is short lived, as the forces of the Inner Sphere rise to do the unimaginable -- invade Clan space!Tags

Extremely sad that this is Thurston's last book in the universe. He has such a great way of communicating how clan culture is psychotic and pragmatic at the same time.

- Important events
- The Great Refusal
- First words
- Natalie Breen often sat in the dark, here in the Hall of the Khans on Strana Mechty.

Warning: May contain spoilers.)As soon as the limping Joanna was out of the door, she let loose a string of curses that, while rich and imaginative, only foreshadowed the verbal and physical torture that this sibko would experience from Star Commander Joanna during the next few years.
