Embers of War (Book)
For Ezra Payne and the Stealthy Tiger mercenaries¸ professionalism is everything. Hired to assist in the bitter¸ bloody fighting on the planet Hall¸ they quickly earn a decisive victory for their employer. They settle afterward in for a needed period of rebuilding¸ and a few months' peace before moving on to the next contract.
But their respite does not last. More mercenaries¸ hired by the Allied Mercenary Command itself¸ land on Hall. They believe the Tigers' employer to be league with the Word of Blake¸ a shadowy interstellar organization that worships technology¸ and which has been building its own empire among the worlds around Terra.
The Tigers want nothing of this battle¸ but war rages across the Inner Sphere. The hard-fought cease-fire cannot last¸ even on Hall¸ and when every faction is embittered and fueled by fervor¸ peace has no chance at all.
As a new conflict erupts¸ will the Stealthy Tigers' BattleMechs be enough to save them? Or will the looming threat of renewed war engulf them in its fiery embrace?
