Gray Markets (A BattleTech Anthology)
COMBAT IS THEIR BUSINESS… And business is good in the 31st century as the Third Succession War rages on battlefields ruled by the almighty BattleMech: ten-meter-tall humanoid machines of pure destruction. Continuous warfare between the five Great Houses of the Inner Sphere has led to a steep technological decline¸ forcing the nobility of these vast interstellar empires to rely on mercenaries to augment their standing armies and gain crucial advantages against their enemies. However¸ that House nobleman may be paying your unit's bills one day¸ but sending you straight into a trap tomorrow. BattleMechs may be the kings of the battlefield¸ but money¸ power¸ and machinations are just as important in victory as an autocannon barrage. This anthology of hard-hitting BattleTech action includes six short stories that demonstrate how Machiavellian nobles¸ greedy pirates¸ and desperate mercenary units can change the course of Inner Sphere history. Take up the cause and charge your way through war-torn tales by veteran authors such as Chris Hussey¸ Philip A. Lee¸ and Craig A. Reed¸ Jr. Note: This file contains two electronic versions of this book: one epub file for use with many ereaders¸ and one.mobi file for use with the Amazon Kindle.
