THE EPIC FIRST NOVEL OF THE LEGENDARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES...
Thirty
meters tall, seventy tons of quick-striding death and destruction, the
armored war machines called BattleMechs are the front line forces of the
crumbling star empire locked in the horror of the endless Succession
Wars. Their pilots are MechWarriors, 31st-Century knights riding armored
machines powerful enough to take a city apart.
Grayson Death
Carlyle had been training to be a MechWarrior since he was 10 years old,
but his graduation came sooner than expected. With his friends and
family dead and his father's regiment destroyed, young Grayson finds
himself stranded on a world turned hostile. Now he must learn the
hardest lesson of all: it takes more than a BattleMech to make a
MechWarrior...
But to claim that title, all Grayson has to do is
go out and capture one of those giant killing machines...if it doesn't
kill him first.
