Description
DEAD RIGHT THEREJeremiah Rose and the Black Thorns, flush with their success against the Jade Falcons on Borghese, head to Harlech to draw a new assignment. Their only requirement: Their new job must let them face off against the Clans.
They find more than they bargained for—a lot more. Their assignment: Garrison duty on Wolcott—a Kurita planet deep in the heart of the Clan Smoke Jaguar occupation zone. Wolcott is besieged, but protected from further Clan aggression by the Clan code of show more honor.
Wolcott makes a useful staging area for Kurita raids on Smoke Jaguar-occupied territory. But too much aggression could bring the Clans down hard on the mercenary unit.
The pay is good. The advance is unbelievable. They just have to live long enough to spend it...

I enjoyed this Battletech book much more than I initially thought I would. I'm not sure why - possibly the very strange cover. I have to say, too, I found myself throughout the novel asking "what does the cover have to do with any of this?" Spoiler - it happens in like the last 10 pages of the book. At any rate, the Black Thorns are a favorite of mine and I think Long did a great job with the characters. This book sort of has it all - aerospace conflict, character development and, of course, Battlemech combat. A fun, quick read if you need a Battletech fix.
